Precision masses of neutron-rich platinum and gold nuclei reveal enhanced shell strength below doubly-magic Pb
David Freire-Fernández, Rui-Jiu Chen, Usama Ahmed +63
The heaviest stable nuclei in the universe owe their existence to quantum shell structure, the grouping of protons and neutrons into discrete energy levels separated by gaps. The l…
Constraining the trend of the shell gap towards Sn with the masses of Cd
D. Lange, D. Atanasov, M. Au +24
We present the first determination of the empirical shell gap at by precise mass measurements of the neutron-deficient cadmium isotopes Cd with the ISOL…
Mass spectrometry of Zn ground and isomeric states from in-trap decay of Cu
M. Müller, N. A. Althubiti, D. Atanasov +14
We report on high-precision mass measurements of the ground and first isomeric state of Zn, performed using the time-of-flight ion-cyclotron-resonance technique at the ISOLT…
Mass measurements of Yb identify an anomalous proton-neutron interaction
C. L. Brown, J. Ash, B. Ashrafkhani +30
Mass measurements of nuclei can identify structurally-driven trends in binding energy across isotopic chains, and can also isolate specific nucleon-nucleon interactions, such as th…
The beta decay of Tz=-2 64Se and its descendants: the T=2 isobaric multiplet
P. Aguilera, F. Molina, B. Rubio +49
In this paper we present our results on the decay of 64Se. It is the heaviest Tz=-2 nucleus that both beta decays and has a stable mirror partner Tz=+2, thus allowing comparison wi…
