TITAN mass measurements of neutron-rich Cs, Ba and r-process lanthanide abundances
T. -H. Yeh, J. D. Cardona, Y. Wang +26
We present measurements for the masses of five neutron-rich isotopes, Cs and Ba, probed for the first time by TITAN at TRIUMF with time-of-flight measureme…
Interplay between Nuclear Shell Structure and Pairing around Doubly Magic Sn
Rane Simpson, Georgios Palkanoglou, Ellen Brisley +20
Shell structure in finite quantum systems gives rise to sudden changes in observable properties, while pairing correlations often compete against such discontinuities. The region n…
Formation of gaseous, doubly charged cerium monofluoride CeF and its sensitivity to new physics
R. Simpson, C. Zülch, K. B. Ng +25
Tricationic protactinium monofluoride (PaF) has been proposed as a candidate for probing physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. Since studies with $^…
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…
Refined topology of the N = 20 island of inversion with high precision mass measurements of Na and Mg
E. M. Lykiardopoulou, C. Walls, J. Bergmann +30
Mass measurements of Na and Mg using the TITAN MR-TOF-MS at TRIUMF's ISAC facility are presented, with the uncertainty of the Na mass reduced by over two…
Direct mass measurements of neutron-rich zinc and gallium isotopes: an investigation of the formation of the first r-process peak
Andrew Jacobs, Stylianos Nikas, John Ash +23
The prediction of isotopic abundances resulting from the rapid neutron capture process (r-process) requires high-precision mass measurements. Using TITAN's on-line time-of-flight s…
