Experimental and theoretical challenges for the trapped electron quantum computer
I. Marzoli, P. Tombesi, G. Ciaramicoli +11
We discuss quantum information processing with trapped electrons. After recalling the operation principle of planar Penning traps we sketch the experimental conditions to load, coo…
Mass measurements of very neutron-deficient Mo and Tc isotopes and their impact on rp process nucleosynthesis
E. Haettner, D. Ackermann, G. Audi +25
The masses of ten proton-rich nuclides, including the N=Z+1 nuclides 85-Mo and 87-Tc, were measured with the Penning trap mass spectrometer SHIPTRAP. Compared to the Atomic Mass Ev…
Direct mapping of nuclear shell effects in the heaviest elements
E. Minaya Ramirez, D. Ackermann, K. Blaum +21
Quantum-mechanical shell effects are expected to strongly enhance nuclear binding on an "island of stability" of superheavy elements. The predicted center at proton number $Z=114,1…
Direct mass measurements beyond the proton drip-line
C. Rauth, D. Ackermann, K. Blaum +24
First on-line mass measurements were performed at the SHIPTRAP Penning trap mass spectrometer. The masses of 18 neutron-deficient isotopes in the terbium-to-thulium region produced…
