Experiments with multiple-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometers (MR-TOF-MS) at TRIUMF and GSI/FAIR — •Christine Hornung¹, the FRS Ion Catcher Collaboration^1,2, and the TITAN Collaboration³ — ¹II. Physikalisches Institut, Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen, Gießen, Germany — ²GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany — ³TRIUMF, Vancouver, Canada

At the JLU Giessen, MR-TOF-MS have been developed for the TITAN experiment at TRIUMF and for the FRS/Super-FRS at GSI/FAIR. The systems incorporate several novel and unique concepts. The design enables world class performance, including a mass resolving power up to 1,000,000, mass accuracies down to 6·10⁻⁸ and a background suppression of grater than 7 orders of magnitude. Mass measurements of neutron-deficient Yb and Tm isotopes have been performed across the N=82 shell closure using TITAN’s MR-TOF-MS. With the MR-TOF-MS of the FRS Ion Catcher at the FRS the masses of neutron-deficient ¹²⁴Xe projectile fragments in the vicinity of ¹⁰⁰Sn have been measured, including the ¹⁰¹In ground state. Two new isomeric states have been discovered in ⁹⁷Ag and ¹⁰¹In. A novel method for the measurement of half-lives and decay branching ratios with the FRS Ion Catcher has been developed and experimentally applied.
