A mass measurement of the short-lived halo nucleus ¹¹Li with the TITAN Penning trap spectrometerSmith, Mathew Jonathon 05 1900 (has links)
New measurements of the masses of the isotopes⁸,⁹,¹¹Li were made using recently commissioned TITAN Penning trap mass spectrometer at TRIUMF. The measurement of the halo nucleus ¹¹Li represents a new standard in Penning trap mass spectrometry, as it is the shortest lived, t₁/₂ = 8.8 ms, isotope ever weighed using this technique. Low energy, E = 20 keV, beams of these radioactive isotopes were produced using the ISAC facility. These were subsequentlycooled and bunched using a square-wave-driven Radio-
Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) ion guide, which was filled with hydrogen
gas. The cooled ion bunches were then passed into a Penning trap where
the mass measurements were made.
A description of the RFQ in the ISAC hall is given along with some
results from the commissioning of the device. A new set of harmonic deceleration
optics is presented which have been successfully used to inject ions
into the RFQ. Cooling of lithium ions with high DC efficiencies of 20%, in
helium, and 40%, in hydrogen, are shown. Extraction of extremely short
ion bunches, 30 ns FWHM, is also demonstrated. Storage times for stable
lithium ions in helium and hydrogen were investigated. It was found that
lithium ions could be cooled in hydrogen for up to 30 ms without significant
losses whereas cooling in helium lead to exponential losses with a half-life of
5.7(1)ms. The TITAN Penning trap is described and the ⁸,⁹,¹¹Li data presented.
Final values for the mass excess of ∆(⁸Li) = 20945.70(38) keV, ∆(⁹Li) =
24954.80(60) keV and ∆(¹¹Li) = 40728.1(12) keV are obtained. The ⁹,¹¹Li
results are then used to obtain a new value for two neutron separation energy
of ¹¹Li, S₂n = 369.3(1.3) keV. This agrees with the recent measurement from
the MISTRAL spectrometer, 376(5) keV, at the two sigma level, but shows
over three standard deviations from the most recent atomic mass evaluation,
300(20) keV

First tests of a square wave radio frequency quadrupole cooler and buncher for TITANBlomeley, Laura Gail. January 2007 (has links)
A high frequency, large amplitude helium filled RFQ (Radio Frequency Quadrupole) beam cooler and buncher was developed and tested for use in the TITAN (TRIUMF's Ion Trap for Atomic and Nuclear science) Penning trap mass spectrometer facility. This device will cool and bunch radioactive ion beams for use in TITAN's high precision mass measurements of short-lived isotopes and other experiments. A test stand was built to test the transmission and properties of ions from a surface ion source through injection optics, the linear Paul trap RFQ and the extraction optics in both continuous and pulsed modes. The efficiency of the device was determined to be on the order of 60% in continuous mode. The present measurements confirm a transverse emittance of the extracted beam in bunched mode operation of 4 pi-mm-mrad at an extraction energy of 4 keV.

Nested Well Plasma TrapsDolliver, Darrell 08 1900 (has links)
Criteria for the confinement of plasmas consisting of a positive and negative component in Penning type traps with nested electric potential wells are presented. Computational techniques for the self-consistent calculation of potential and plasma density distributions are developed. Analyses are presented of the use of nested well Penning traps for several applications. The analyses include: calculations of timescales relevant to the applications, e.g. reaction, confinement and relaxation timescales, self-consistent computations, and consideration of other physical phenomenon important to the applications. Possible applications of a nested well penning trap include production of high charge state ions, studies of high charge state ions, and production of antihydrogen. In addition the properties of a modified Penning trap consisting of an electric potential well applied along a radial magnetic field are explored.

New atomic masses related to fundamental physics measured with SMILETRAPNagy, Szilárd January 2005 (has links)
This thesis describes the recent improvements of the SMILETRAP Penning trap mass spectrometer and a number of interesting high precision mass measurements, which have been performed using the improved apparatus, and are relevant in todays fundamental physics problems. The mass of the hydrogen-like 24,26Mg ions as well as the masses of the hydrogen- and lithium-like 40Ca ions are presented in this work that are indispensable input values when evaluating g-factor measurements of the bound electron. In both cases the uncertainty in the masses was improved by one order of magnitude compared to the literature values known so far. The mass of 7Li has been measured and a new mass value has been obtained with an unprecedented relative uncertainty of 6.3x10-10. A large deviation of 1.1 μu (160ppb) compared to the literature value has been observed. In order to find the reason of this large deviation and to look for possible systematics we have measured the mass of 4He and 6Li and concluded that the 6Li(n,γ)7Li reaction Q-value used in the literature when calculating the 7Li mass is wrong by about 1 keV. The mass difference between 3He and 3H (Δ m (3H -3He)) is the Q-value of the tritium β-decay. An accurate knowledge of the tritium Q-value is of importance in the search for a finite rest mass of the electron neutrino. By adding a measurement of the mass of 3He1+ to previous mass measurement of 3H1+ and 3He2+ we have improved our previous Q-value by a factor of 2. At the moment our Q-value is the most accurate and more importantly it is based on the correct atomic mass values.
