Quantum-mechanical shell effects are expected to strongly enhance nuclear binding on an island of stability of superheavy elements. The predicted center at proton number Z = 114, 120, or 126 and neutron number N = 184 has been substantiated by the recent synthesis of new elements up to Z = 118. However, the location of the center and the extension of the island of stability remain vague. High-precision mass spectrometry allows the direct measurement of nuclear binding energies and thus the determination of the strength of shell effects. Here, we present such measurements for nobelium and lawrencium isotopes, which also pin down the deformed shell gap at N = 152.

Summary: This experiment studied the precision of range measurement for positron-emitting carbon isotopes using PET technology in ion beam therapy. The uncertainty of range determination is influenced by PET counting statistics. The uncertainties for C-11, C-10, and C-12 isotopes are 0.7 mm, 0.04 mm, and 1.3 mm, respectively. Compared to C-11, C-10 exhibits better precision due to its shorter half-life, which allows for the inclusion of in-spill data in image formation.

State-specific ion mobilities of Lr+ (Z=103) in helium

Harry Ramanantoanina, Anastasia Borschevsky, Michael Block, Larry Viehland, Mustapha Laatiaoui

Summary: The ion mobilities of Lr+ and Lu+ in helium were calculated using the multireference configuration interaction method. The study also investigated the ion-atom interaction potentials for the ground state and lowest metastable state. The results showed that the zero-field ion mobilities were similar for both ions, but there were significant differences between the mobilities of different electronic states at higher temperatures.

Summary: Experimental determination of proton capture cross sections on radioactive nuclei is challenging, but crucial for understanding the production of p-nuclei. A direct measurement of these cross sections on stored, radioactive ions was achieved for the first time in an energy range relevant to nuclear astrophysics. The method used was sensitive to (p,gamma) and (p,n) reactions in inverse kinematics, which are important for nucleosynthesis processes in supernovae. The cross section of the Te-118(p,gamma) reaction was measured at energies of 6 MeV/u and 7 MeV/u using heavy ions interacting with a hydrogen gas jet target. Preliminary results from the ongoing analysis will be presented, along with an overview of the experimental method.

Summary: The matter radius of the doubly magic Ni-56 was determined using elastic proton scattering in inverse kinematics with a radioactive beam at E-kin = 390.2MeV/nucleon. Novel Si detectors operated as active vacuum windows were used in the ESR storage ring at GSI for this experiment. The extracted matter radius < r(m)(2) >(1/2) > for Ni-56 was 3.74(-0.06)(+0.03) fm.

First application of the phase-imaging ion-cyclotron resonance technique at TRIGA-Trap

S. Chenmarev, Sz Nagy, J. J. W. van de Laar, K. Blaum, M. Block, Ch. E. Duellmann

Summary: The phase-imaging ion cyclotron resonance technique (PI-ICR) has been implemented at TRIGA-Trap to perform mass measurements on stable Pb isotopes. This technique offers higher mass-resolving power, allows for detecting contaminant ions, and helps in adjusting the trapping potential and aligning the trap symmetry axis with respect to the magnetic field axis. It is a non-scanning technique that is more sensitive than the previously used time-of-flight ion-cyclotron-resonance (ToF-ICR) technique.

Summary: Direct lifetime measurements for excited states below previously reported isomers were performed using the FATIMA fast-timing LaBr3(Ce) array via gamma-gamma coincidences. The lifetimes below the I pi = 8+ seniority isomer in the N = 50 semi-magic 96Pd nucleus were studied as a benchmark for further analysis. The results confirm the published values for the I pi = 2+ and 4+ states, with improved accuracy achieved for the 4+ state lifetime.
