Advances in r-process mass measurements at TITAN-TRIUMF

ORAL

Abstract

TITAN-TRIUMF has long pursued mass measurements as inputs into nucleosynthesis calculations, first with a Penning trap and now with a Multi-Reflection Time-Of-Flight mass separator. For the latter, recent developments have led to pronounced improvements in resolving power, dynamic range, and sensitivity. They enable TITAN to survey the limits of TRIUMF's RIB production and to approach the r-process path for heavy nuclides. I will provide an overview of the hundreds of species measured, how these mass values are relevant to r- and rp-process, as well as plans for mass and other meausrements to investigate the r- and rp-process.
