Mass deviations in neutron-rich nuclei Results from JYFL Zr • New mass measurements, e.g. at JYFL, show that masses from beta-end-point energies in neutron-rich nuclei are systematically wrong • Better mass measurements needed, e.g. for r-process calculations • Highly charged ions will improve accuracies significantly

What do we want from you? • We want to collect / update ideas for the MAFF physics case • Basic question: • Where can MAFF make unique contributions? • What makes MAFF unique? • high intensity of fission fragments • detailed spectroscopy possible • reaching more exotic nuclei • fusion evaporation reactions with n-rich beams • parallel operation of low and high energy beam possible • capability to perform long experiments (e.g. for SHE) • Next steps • MAFF white paper by fall 2005 • MAFF technical report by end of 2005 • Authorization procedure (1st stage) finished by end of 2006
Post-accelerated MAFF beams Heavier elements not shown!
What makes MAFF unique? • high intensity of fission fragments • detailed spectroscopy possible • (Coulex, transfer, g—factors, lifetimes, etc.) • reaching more exotic nuclei • extending mass measurements • decay spectroscopy • fusion evaporation reactions with n-rich beams • parallel operation of low and high energy beam possible • capability to perform long experiments (e.g. for SHE) • it is relatively cheap !!
Heavy and superheavy elements • Reaction studies (isospin dependence of sER) • chemistry with long lived SHE isotopes • connecting the bottom of the Dubna chains • shell structure near 78Ni, 132Sn • single-particle energies, occupancies • masses, g-factors, lifetimes • evolution of residual interactions • search for effects of diffuse surface • (shell quenching) • shape evolution • shape transitions • shape coexistence • r-process nuclei • masses, T1/2, GT strength
