SMI-2023: 14th International Conference on Stopping and Manipulation of Ions and Related Topics

Multi-reflection time-of-flight (MRTOF) mass spectrometry [1] has become a new powerful tool for fast and precise measurements of atomic masses. It is a breakthrough-technology considering the required duration of a measurement and the small number of rare events needed to reach a relative mass precision of $\delta m/m \leq 10^{-7}$. In order to utilize the powerful isotope production...

TRIUMF’s Ion Trap for Atomic and Nuclear science (TITAN) is specialized in high-precision measurement on exotic nuclei by using different electromagnetic traps. High-precision mass measurements of these isotopes are demanded for studies of nuclear structure and nuclear astrophysics processes, happening for isotopes far away from the valley of stability. However, one of the challenges when...

The KEK Isotope Separation System (KISS) [1,2] facility for laser and decay spectroscopy of nuclides produced via multi-nucleon transfer (MNT) reactions is installed at the RIKEN Nishina Center. Recently, a multi-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrograph (MRTOF-MS) [3] has been installed to provide high-precision mass measurements. Following laser ionization ($Z$-selection) the KISS...

The NEXT experiment intends to produce Neutron-rich EXotic heavy nuclei in multinucleon Transfer reactions. Measuring the mass of these nuclei to high precision provides information on their internal nuclear structure and useful input data for the modelling of nucleosynthesis processes.

The NEXT setup will be placed at the AGOR cyclotron at the Partrec facility in Groningen. The...
