Location:  Auditorium          

Speaker:   Pascal Reiter (TRIUMF)

Title:     Do you know what's in your beam? First on-line results from TITANS’s MR-TOF-MS

Abstract: TRIUMF’s Ion Trap for Atomic and Nuclear science (TITAN) is a multiple ion trap system capable of performing high-precision mass measurements and in-trap decay spectroscopy. TITAN has specialised in fast Penning trap mass spectrometry of short-lived exotic nuclei using its Measurement Penning Trap (MPET). In spring this year an isobar separator based on the Multiple-Reflection Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (MR-TOF-MS) technique has been installed on the TITAN platform; similar to devices used at other ion trap facilities.

In addition to isobar separation, the MR-TOF-MS enables mass measurements of very short-lived nuclides (half-life > 3 ms) that are produced in very low quantities (yields of > 0.5 pps) on its own. As a non-scanning broadband mass spectrometer the MR-TOF-MS can efficiently be used for beam diagnostics and determination of yields or beam compositions, including stable components.

In this ISAC Science forum we want to present recent results obtained with the newly installed MR-TOF-MS during experiments measuring neutron-rich Ti, Ga and Mn isotopes, as well as molecular beams from OLIS.


informal talks on research progress
