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

Storage rings have been employed over three decades in various kinds of nuclear and
atomic physics experiments with highly charged ions. Storage ring operation and precision …

X-ray bursts are among the brightest stellar objects frequently observed in the sky by space-
based telescopes. A type-I X-ray burst is understood as a violent thermonuclear explosion …

A technique for broadband high-precision mass measurements of short-lived exotic nuclides
is reported. It is based on the isochronous mass spectrometry (IMS) and realizes …

A novel isochronous mass spectrometry, termed as B ρ-defined IMS, has been established
at the experimental cooler-storage ring CSRe in Lanzhou. Its potential has been studied …

In the last two and a half decades ion storage rings have proven to be powerful tools for
precision experiments with unstable nuclides in the realm of nuclear structure and …

Abstract The Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou (HIRFL) is a multi-disciplinary
research facility that provides heavy ion beams for physical, biomedical and material …

The ground-state mass excess of the Tz=− 2 drip-line nucleus 22Al is measured for the first
time to be 18103 (10) keV using the newly-developed Bρ-defined isochronous mass …

Isochronous mass spectrometry based on heavy-ion storage rings is a powerful tool for
direct mass measurements of very short-lived nuclei. Owing to the nature of in-flight …

Decay properties known in neutral atoms can be altered significantly if all or most bound
electrons are removed. Straightforwardly, in fully-ionised nuclei, the decay channels …
