Proposed by Heinz-Juergen Kluge in 1980 and installed in 1986, ISOLTRAP was the world's first Penning trap connected to a radioactive beam facility. Since then, ISOLTRAP has pioneered most of the techniques now associated with on-line ion trapping and manipulation for precision measurements of atomic masses. After an introduction of physics motivation, a brief history and description of the...
Recent commissioning of the Cooler Storage Ring at the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou enabled us to conduct high-precision mass measurements at the Institute of Modern Physics in Lanzhou (IMP). In the past few years, mass measurements were performed using the CSRe-based isochronous mass spectrometry employing the fragmentation of the energetic beams of 36Ar, 58Ni, 78Kr, 86Kr, and 112Sn...
The relativistic nuclear field theory (RNFT) developed throughout the last decade will be featured as an approach to the nuclear many-body problem, which is based on meson-nucleon Lagrangian and connects consistently the high-energy scale of heavy mesons, the medium-energy range of the pion, and the low-energy domain of emergent collective vibrations (phonons). Mesons and phonons build up the...
The idea that “new-is-small” is a paradigm propelling industries and research: new materials for new applications and new technologies. Precise and efficient characterization techniques are, therefore, required to make the “new” and the “small”, understandable, applicable, and reliable. Within this concept, Time Differential Perturbed Angular Correlations, TDPAC, appears as one of the...
