Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A beam-through-type gas cell has been developed for the precise mass measurement of proton-rich nuclei. A new apparatus consisting of a beam-through-type gas cell and a multi-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometer was installed in the superconducting in-flight RI beam separator BigRIPS at RIKEN, and the mass measurement experiment of neutron-rich nuclei was performed as commissioning. As a result, the masses of 88,89As, and 112Mo were experimentally determined for the first time. The beam-through-type gas cell was confirmed to have reached the practical stage, although there still is room for improvement.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
不安定原子核を用いた種々の精密測定実験にはエネルギーの揃った高純度の低エネルギーイオンビームが必要とされている。しかし不安定核は高エネルギーのイオンとして生成されるためガスセルを用い一度低速イオンに変換する。本研究で開発したビーム透過型ガスセルは大強度の入射ビームに対してその効率を保ちつつ、更にガスセル内での不純物イオンの発生低減を狙ったものであり、不安定原子核を用いた実験の可能性を大きく広げるものである。
