Ion traps have long been recognized as superb precision tools for fundamental physics research.
In contemporary nuclear physics, they are widely employed to prepare, control and study short lived radionuclides with high precision and accuracy. Over the last decade, Multi-Reflection Time-of-Flight (MR-ToF) mass separators have significantly gained in importance at radioactive ion beam (RIB)...
Nuclear isotopes are nuclei with a fixed number of protons Z but with a varying number of neutrons N. The question of how many neutrons a certain element can have while maintaining its stability against neutron or proton emission, or in other words where the proton and neutron drip-lines lie, has been troubling not only nuclear physicists but also astrophysicists since it can help answering...
Mass measurement facilities are extremely important in furthering our understanding of nuclear structure away from the valley of stability, including aiding in the search for collective behaviors in exotic nuclei. TRIUMF’s Ion Trap for Atomic and Nuclear science (TITAN) is among the world’s premier precision trapping facilities, with the newly added Multiple-Reflection Time-of-Flight Mass...
