Mass Measurements of Proton-rich Nuclides at the Cooler Storage Ring at IMP

Recent results and progress of mass measurements of proton-rich nuclei using isochronous mass spectrometry (IMS) are reported. The nuclei under investigation were produced via fragmentation of relativistic energy heavy ions of {sup 78}Kr and {sup 58}Ni. After in-flight separation by the fragment separator RIBLL-2, the nuclei were injected and stored in the experimental storage ring CSRe, and their masses were determined from measurements of the revolution times. The impact of these measurements on the stellar nucleosynthesis in the rp-process is discussed.

Direct Mass Measurements of Short-Lived A=2Z-1 Nuclides {sup 63}Ge, {sup 65}As, {sup 67}Se, and {sup 71}Kr and Their Impact on Nucleosynthesis in the rp Process

Mass excesses of short-lived A=2Z-1 nuclei {sup 63}Ge, {sup 65}As, {sup 67}Se, and {sup 71}Kr have been directly measured to be -46 921(37), -46 937(85), -46 580(67), and -46 320(141) keV, respectively. The deduced proton separation energy of -90(85) keV for {sup 65}As shows that this nucleus is only slightly proton unbound. X-ray burst model calculations with the new mass excess of {sup 65}As suggest that the majority of the reaction flow passes through {sup 64}Ge via proton capture, indicating that {sup 64}Ge is not a significant rp-process waiting point.

Progress on the RFQ1L and LPT

The SHANS spectrometer is under construction in the Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Science. The RFQ cooler and buncher RFQ1L is one of the key devices in the SHANS. To perform direct mass measurement, the Lanzhou Penning Trap LPT is also under construction. In this symposium, the principle of the SHANS, the status of RFQ1L and LPT and some primary test results will be reported.

Nuclear physics program at HIRFL

With the commissioning of HIRFL-CSR, HIRFL can provide heavy ion beams with energy covering the range of several MeV/u to 1 GeV/u. In this talk, the experiments on nuclear physics at different energies to be carried out with different experimental setups at HIRFL will be introduced.
