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

SHANS (Spectrometer for Heavy Atom and Nuclear Structure), which is a gas-filled recoil separator located at the Institute of Modern Physics in Lanzhou, is an apparatus used to study the heavy nuclei produced in the heavy-ion-induced fusion reactions. Over the past decade, a dozen of isotopes have been synthesized for the first time on this separator and their structures have been...

Multi-Reflection Time-of-Flight Mass-Spectrometers (MR-ToF-MS) [1] have gained ground in radioactive beam facilities in the past 10 years, due to their comparatively fast operation cycles (~10 ms) and high mass resolving powers (R = m/dm ~ 2∙105). This enables the separation and subsequent mass measurement of...

At GSI, Darmstadt, Germany we use the in gas-Jet Resonant Ionization Spectroscopy (JetRIS) apparatus [1] to perform laser spectroscopy of elements in the heavy actinide region to determine their atomic and nuclear properties. JetRIS presently utilizes $\alpha$-decay detection to maximize sensitivity while minimizing the background from unwanted ions. However, for long-lived nuclides...
