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…
Off-line Commissioning of the St. Benedict Radio Frequency Quadrupole Ion Guide
R. Zite, M. Brodeur, O. Bruce +4
The Superallowed Transition Beta-Neutrino Decay Ion Coincidence Trap (St. Benedict) is currently under construction at the Nuclear Science Laboratory (NSL) of the University of Not…
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…
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…
Off-line Commissioning of the St. Benedict Radiofrequency Quadrupole Cooler-Buncher
D. P. Burdette, R. Zite, M. Brodeur +20
The St. Benedict ion trapping system, which aims to measure the angular correlation parameter in superallowed-mixed mirror transitions, is under construction at the Univers…
