First Penning-trap mass measurement in the millisecond half-life range: the exotic halo nucleus 11Li

M. Smith, M. Brodeur, T. Brunner +10

In this letter, we report a new mass for ${}^{11}$Li using the trapping experiment TITAN at TRIUMF's ISAC facility. This is by far the shortest-lived nuclide, $t_{1/2}=8.8\mathrm{ms}$…
