Tackling the increasing challenge to determine the mass of isotopes having low production yields and short half-lives, multi-reflection time-of- flight (MRTOF) mass spectrometry has grown from an initially rarely-used technology to the world’s most commonly-used method for measurements with a relative mass precision down to $\delta m/m = 10^{−8}$. This technology has been developed at RIKEN’s...
Investigating the boundaries of the nuclear chart and understanding the structure of the heaviest elements are at the forefront of nuclear physics. The existence of the superheavy nuclei is intimately linked to nuclear shell effects which counteract Coulomb repulsion and therefore hinder spontaneous fission. In the region of heavy deformed nuclei weak shell gaps arise around $Z$=100 and...
Improving the resolution of particle identification is a crucial challenge in nuclear physics experiments using heavy ion beams. Among the important parameters for particle identification is the particle velocity, which is generally determined by measuring the time of flight (TOF) of charged particles. Enhancing the resolution of TOF measurements can be achieved by either extending the flight...
The online commissioning experiments of CLaSsy, a Collinear Laser Spectroscopy setup at RAON, were conducted at the end of 2024 with KNUE and CENS collaborators, observing the optical D1 and D2 transitions for sodium isotopes ($^{21}Na$, $^{22}Na$ and $^{23}Na$). The isotopes were provided in the form of bunched beams with a repetition rate of 10 Hz using the Radio Frequency Quadrupole-Cooler...
