260. TITAN ion trap experiments for nuclear structure

Prof. Jens Dilling (TRIUMF/ University of British Columbia)

Nuclear Physics / Physique nucléaire (DNP-DPN)

Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité

The TITAN (Triumf's Ion Trap for Atomic and Nuclear science) system is set up the ISAC rare beam facility at TRIUMF and enables precision experiments on very short-lived rare species. I present new measurements of atomic masses for nuclear structure in the so-called Island of Inversion, and for light Mg isotopes, where tests of the IMME were possible. The latter allowed for tests of the...

53. Multiple-Reflection Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry: from nuclear physics experiments to clinical applications

Mr Johannes Lang (II. Physikalisches Insitut, Justus-Liebig-Universität Giessen)

Nuclear Physics / Physique nucléaire (DNP-DPN)

Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité

Mass spectrometry is a technique, which was developed more than hundred years ago. It led to epochal discoveries and contributed to the foundation to what is now called nuclear and particle physics. Nowadays mass spectrometry is also applied as analytical tool in many directions of science, e.g. in chemistry, biology, geology, space science and many other fields. Time-of-Flight (TOF) mass...

250. Absolute nuclear charge radii for elements without stable isotopes via precision x-ray spectroscopy of lithium-like ions

Nuclear Physics / Physique nucléaire (DNP-DPN)

Oral (Student, In Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), inscrit à la compétition)

There is currently no method to experimentally determine the absolute charge radius of nuclei for elements that have no stable or extremely long-lived isotope: The standard methods, electron scattering and muonic atom spectroscopy, require macroscopic amounts of the isotope under investigation. Thus, for nuclei with charge Z > 83, (uranium is the exception), there is no experimental data for...

241. Gamma-ray spectroscopy in the vicinity of $^{100}$Sn

Jason Park (University of British Columbia/TRIUMF)

Nuclear Physics / Physique nucléaire (DNP-DPN)

Oral (Student, In Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), inscrit à la compétition)

The heaviest doubly-magic and self-conjugate nucleus $^{100}$Sn is known for its super-allowed Gamow-Teller decay with the smallest $\log ft$ value and providing experimental data for quenching effects and $rp$-process path models. In addition, $^{100}$Sn and its neighbouring species offer valuable insights for nuclear structure. Gamma-ray spectroscopy of $^{100}$Sn and nuclei in its...

Instrumentation and Measurement Physics / Physique des instruments et mesures (DIMP-DPIM)

Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)

Many materials analysis techniques rely on the 'particle in - particle out' principle, where a source produces precisely controlled probe particles that interact with a sample and a detector characterizes the scattered or transmitted probe particles, providing information on the nature and structure of the sample under study. Examples of probe particles are electrons (electron microscopes),...
