Perspectives on rare isotope experiments at ARIEL with ion trapping & manipulation
- Anna Kwiatkowski (TRIUMF)
Precision mass measurements of exotic nuclei provide a direct and model-independent probe of nuclear structure, giving access to binding energies and derived observables such as two-neutron separation energies, shell-gap indicators, and odd-even staggering. At TRIUMF-ISAC, these techniques have enabled detailed studies of neutron-rich nuclei relevant to shell evolution, deformation, and the...
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...
The multiple-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometer (MR-TOF-MS) has been part of the TRIUMF’s Ion Trap for Atomic and Nuclear Science for about 9 years. Coupled to the ISAC facility for the delivery of rare isotope beams (RIBs) plenty of results have been shown, from extending the landscape of known nuclear masses to aiding for the development of ion sources and targets. Within the ARIEL...
