Exploration for Astromers near Sn with the Canadian Penning Trap
A. A. Valverde, S. Cupp, A. Gross +26
Nuclear isomers can have significant impacts on astrophysical nucleosynthesis processes, with recent efforts demonstrating that the population of isomeric states with different hal…
Offline Commissioning of the St. Benedict Gas Catcher
F. Rivero, D. Guillet, M. Brodeur +11
Precision measurements of decay transitions offer a promising channel through which the Standard Model (SM) can be probed. There is currently an ongoing effort to increase the…
The N=126 Factory: A New Multi-Nucleon Transfer Reaction Facility
A. A. Valverde, M. S. Martin, W. S. Porter +23
Multi-nucleon transfer (MNT) reactions between two heavy ions offer an effective method of producing heavy, neutron-rich nuclei that cannot currently be accessed efficiently using…
Precision Mass Measurements of \textsuperscript{130}Te, \textsuperscript{130}Sn, and Their Impact on Models for R-Process Nucleosynthesis
A. Cannon, W. S. Porter, A. A. Valverde +12
The astrophysical rapid neutron capture nucleosynthesis process (r-process) remains an active area of research due to the fact that it occurs in extreme conditions and involves rea…
The mass of Sn and Bayesian extrapolations to the proton drip line
Christian M. Ireland, Georg Bollen, Scott E. Campbell +23
The favorable energy configurations of nuclei at magic numbers of neutrons and protons are fundamental for understanding the evolution of nuclear structure. The ${Z=50}…
Precise Mass Measurement of the La-Ce-Pr isobaric chain
B. Liu, M. Brodeur, J. A. Clark +13
Penning trap mass measurements of La, Ce, and Pr were performed with the Canadian Penning Trap (CPT) at the CARIBU facility of Argonne National Laboratory u…
