Milan MATOŠ TOF Mass Measurements at the Extremes: An input for astrophysical calculations
Principle of TOF Mass Measurements Br usually Br acceptance ± several percent solutions Br measurement isochronicity t constant for fixed m/q even if v1 < v2 dispersive mode
Time-of-Flight Measurement with the Storage Ring in the Isochronous Mode
known mass Results very well known mass s<30keV
known mass Results very well known mass s<30keV ISOLTRAP N>1000 LEBIT
Preliminary Fit fit of the reference masses m/q = function(TOF, Z) VERY PRELIMINARY Comparison with Mass Models AME extrapolation VERY PRELIMINARY new measured mass value only statistical uncertainties!!! Ni isotopes

preceding following Astrophysical Motivation • after enormous interest in explosive processes in stars • sites still not clear • last decade rise of the interest in processes: the explosions
r-process conditions Only np-, a- process r-process Seed Nuclei in Neutrino-Driven Wind Model of Core-Collapsed Supernovae • high temperature ejecta • cooled by adiabatic expansion • driven by a neutrino wind n, p, a charge-particle freeze-out Calculations: K. Farouqi, F. Montes et al. FRDM mass model used need of nuclear physics data Area covered in this experiment seed/n too high
electron Fermi energy Heating of the Accreting Neutron Star Crust(after rp-process) • after matter flow suppressed • ashes of rp-process sink deeper into the crust, • me rises with an increasing density • Haensel & Zdunik: on a single rp-process nuclide • two stages electron capture • n emission and absorption • pycnonuclear fusion r>1012g/cm2 calculated excitation energies • Schatz, Cumming: • superburst: 12C ignition at r ~109g/cm2 • not enough heat according to HZ model! • S. Gupta et al: on realistic rp-ashes mix • electron capture into excited states followed • by a radiative deexcitation – more heat! masses needed for reaction thresholds, separation energies and reaction rates FRDM (Möller et al., 1995) used S. Gupta et al. astro-ph/0609828
