ISOLTRAP’s MR-ToF mass separator to plumb a neutron star
ISOLTRAP’s MR-ToF mass separator to plumb a neutron star The mass of an atomic nucleus is one of its most fundamental properties.Via the binding energy, i.e., the difference in mass between its constituents (protons and neutrons) and the entire nucleus, it reflects the sum of all interactions present. Precision mass measurements of short-lived isotopes provide…
