Detection technique with single-ion sensitivity for high-precision mass measurements on superheavy elements
Mass values contribute to a number of physical models: these range from masses of exotic short-lived nuclides being important for weak interaction studies and the Standard Model of particle physics, to stable masses as means for the definition of fundamental constants [1]. Since the discovery of the superheavy elements from to , the investigations in their masses have become more and more impor...
متن کاملElectric and magnetic field optimization procedure for Penning trap mass spectrometers
Significant systematic errors in high-precision Penning trap mass spectrometry can result from electric and magnetic field imperfections. An experimental procedure to minimize these uncertainties is presented for the on-line Penning trap mass spectrometer ISOLTRAP, located at ISOLDE/CERN. The deviations from the ideal magnetic and electric fields are probed by measuring the cyclotron frequency ...
متن کاملTOF-Bρ Mass Measurements of Very Exotic Nuclides for Astrophysical Calculations at the NSCL
Atomic masses play a crucial role in many nuclear astrophysics calculations. The lack of experimental values for relevant exotic nuclides triggered a rapid development of new mass measurement devices around the world. The Timeof-Flight (TOF) mass measurements offer a complementary technique to the most precise one, Penning trap measurements [1], the latter being limited by the rate and half-liv...
متن کاملA Penning trap for laser spectroscopy of cold, trapped, highly-charged ions
The HITRAP facility will soon provide highly charged ions (HCI) at very low energies and offers unique possibilities for laser spectroscopy of hydrogenlike and lithiumlike heavy ions. We are currently developing a dedicated Penning trap and laser system for this task in close collaboration with the Imperial College London, and the TU Darmstadt. This trap will be operated with a Helmholtztype su...
متن کاملSeries solution for the image charge fields in arbitrary cylindrically symmetric Penning traps
This paper presents a series solution to the image charge fields of a single ion in a Penning trap. The calculation of these fields and resulting frequency shifts will be important for advances in a variety of high precision Penning trap studies, particularly for work with highly charged ions. The simple technique is applicable to cylindrically symmetric traps of otherwise arbitrary geometry an...
