Precision mass measurements of radioactive nuclides give direct insight to one of the most fundamental properties of atomic nuclei, their binding energy. Investigating this property as a function of proton and neutron number is crucial for advancing theory in describing and predicting the structure of nuclei. Furthermore, the masses of nuclei far from stability are essential for the...

The CARIBU facility provides neutron-rich radioactive beams at low-energy or reaccelerated to energy up to 10-15 MeV/u for experiments addressing issues in nuclear physics, nuclear astrophysics and various applications. The source for these radioactive ions is a large high-intensity gas catcher used to thermalize neutron-rich recoils from the fission of a 1 Ci 252Cf source. This approach...

Experimental data of ground-state properties of exotic nuclides are important for nuclear structure and reaction studies. They also benchmark the predictive power of astrophysical models. The TRIGA-SPEC experiment - comprising the collinear laser spectroscopy setup TRIGA-LASER and the double Penning-trap mass spectrometer TRIGA-TRAP - is built to perform high-precision measurements on fission...

At the FRS Ion Catcher experiment at GSI, projectile and fission fragments are produced at relativistic energies with the FRS, separated in-flight, range-focused, slowed-down and thermalized in a cryogenic stopping cell and are transmitted to a multiple-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometer (MR-TOF-MS). The MR-TOF-MS is used to perform direct mass measurements of exotic nuclei, to...

The Upgrade of SPIRAL1 [1] aims to offer new radioactive ion beams to the physics community. Regarding the ion beams requested by the users, an important technical transformation was needed to make the current installation able to host new Target Ion Source Systems (TISS) suited to the production and ionization of the relevant isotopes, while preserving sufficient high charge states for...
