The current status of a time-of-flight mass spectrometer system for the SHIPTRAP and FRS-Ion-Catcher facilities at GSI is described. At these facilities, fusion-reaction products and projectile / fission fragments, respectively, are decelerated and thermalized in gas-filled stopping cells and made available to precision experiments performed at energies in the eV range.
The time-of-flight mass spectrometer can be used to obtain broad-band, high-resolution mass spectra with cycle times of less than 1 ms. Thus it is ideally suited for the characterization and optimization of the stopping cells as key parts of these facilities, as well as for direct mass measurements on very short-lived exotic nuclei, and for atomic and chemical studies. Recent results from experiments performed at SHIPTRAP and the FRS-Ion-Catcher and developments for chemical studies and ion mobility measurements of transuranium elements will be presented.
