Precision Mass Spectrometry of Rare Isotopes in America — •Georg Bollen — Michigan State University, National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory and Department of Physics and Astronomy, East Lansing, MI, USA

Precise masses of nuclides far away from the valley of beta-stability are important for a better understanding of the nuclear many-body system, as input for the modelling of the synthesis of the elements in the universe, and for testing of fundamental symmetries. Penning trap mass spectrometry offers unprecedented accuracy and a very high sensitivity. In America, several Penning trap mass spectrometer projects make use of unique rare isotope production facilities and contribute to the worldwide effort to enhance our knowledge of nuclear binding energies. This talk will give an overview of on-going activities and discuss the perspectives of reaching even more exotic isotopes.
