High-precision nuclear mass data is required for several scientific applications like calculations on the astrophysical r-process, nuclear structure studies and tests of nuclear mass models. Such data is gained for example by the double Penning trap mass spectrometer TRIGA-TRAP, one branch of the TRIGA-SPEC experiment, which has recently been set up in order to investigate the neutron-rich as well as the long-lived transuranium area of the chart of nuclides. The nuclides of interest are either produced by thermal neutron-induced fission of a uranium target or ionized off-line in a laser ablation ion source. Mass measurements on rare-earth nuclides were already performed and deviations from the literature values were discovered.
In this talk the present status of the TRIGA-TRAP experiment will be outlined and the influence of the latest mass measurement results on the Atomic-Mass Evaluation will be presented.
