High-accuracy mass spectrometry with stored ions

TL;DR: The mass of an atom, and its inherent connection with the atomic and nuclear binding energy is a fundamental property, a unique fingerprint of the atomic nucleus as mentioned in this paper, and the importance of its mass ranges from verification of nuclear models to a test of the Standard Model, in particular with regard to the weak interaction and the unitarity of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa quark mixing matrix.

Recent trends in the determination of nuclear masses

TL;DR: The mass of the nucleus has been of capital importance not only for various aspects of nuclear physics, but also for other branches of physics, notably weak-interaction studies and astrophysics as mentioned in this paper.

Nuclear lifetimes for cluster radioactivities

TL;DR: In this paper, partial half-lives and Q values of the most probable decays by spontaneous cluster emission are listed for nuclides with Z = 52 −122. But the parent nuclei listed here are selected to meet the following criteria: partial lifetime for cluster emission 30 s and branching ratio relative to α decay > 10 −18.

Symmetry energies and the curvature of the nuclear mass surface

TL;DR: In this paper, a global study of the symmetry energies reflects upon the curvature of the mass surface and isospin inversion is indicated for odd-odd self-conjugate nuclei.

Atomic Masses from (Mainly) Experimental Data

TL;DR: The present list of atomic masses is an update from the 1983 Atomic Mass Table as discussed by the authors, which is represented in two categories of mass values: those derived purely from experimental data, and those calculated with the help of systematic trends also.

Mass predictions from the Garvey-Kelson mass relations

TL;DR: In this paper, the transverse Garvey-Kelson mass relation represents a homogeneous third-order partial difference equation and procedures are described for estimating masses of nuclei with N ⩾ Z from the most general solution of this difference equation subject to a χ2 minimization, using the recent atomic mass adjustment of Wapstra, Audi, and Hoekstra as a boundary condition.

Masses of nuclei with Z > N☆

TL;DR: In this article, a phenomenological relation between ground-state atomic masses in conjuction with charge symmetry is used to investigate all the masses of nuclei with A ⩽ 42 with Z > N.

Nuclidic mass relationships and mass equations

TL;DR: In this paper, an alternate approach is described in which makes use of nuclidic mass relationships which represent partial difference equations, making use of nuclear structure considerations and minimizing the differences M(N,Z) for all known masses.
