Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory of quarks and gluons, whose interactions can be
described by a local SU (3) gauge symmetry with charges called “color quantum numbers” …

The mass of the nucleus, through its binding energy, continues to be of capital importance
not only for various aspects of nuclear physics, but also for other branches of physics …

Radioactive ion beam facilities are transforming nuclear science by making beams of exotic
nuclei with various properties available for experiments. New infrastructures and …

We have developed a method for achieving excellent resolving power in in-flight particle
identification of radioactive isotope (RI) beams at the BigRIPS fragment separator at the …

In the past 85 years the number of known nuclides increased by more than a factor of ten,
resulting in 4000 presently known isotopes of 118 elements. This considerable progress we …

The BigRIPS in-flight separator, which became operational in March 2007 at the RI Beam
Factory (RIBF) at RIKEN Nishina Center, has been used to produce a variety of rare-isotope …

Theoretical prediction shows that about 9000 nuclei could be bounded, of which the
properties will be hot topics in the new nuclear physics era opened by the new third …

Masses of 582 neutron-deficient nuclides (30⩽ Z⩽ 85) were measured with time-resolved
Schottky mass spectrometry at the FRS-ESR facility at GSI, 117 were used for calibration …

In this review, we describe the experimental facilities and methods which make it possible to
produce and measure the properties of the extreme neutron-rich nuclei. We then develop …

Recent developments in precision mass spectrometry of radioactive isotopes (RI) and some
selected related physics subjects are reviewed. In the last decades, besides conventional …
