Precision mass measurements of short-lived nuclides for nuclear structure studies at TITAN

Abstract

Abstract. TITAN (TRIUMF's Ion Trap for Atomic and Nuclear science) at TRIUMF's rare isotope beam facility ISAC is an advanced Penning trap based mass spectrometer dedicated to precise and accurate mass determinations. An overview of TITAN, the measurement technique and a highlight of recent mass measurements of the short-lived nuclides important to the nuclear structure program at TITAN are presented.
