Mass measurements of fission products based on Penning-trap technique are reviewed in this article. More than 300 fission products have been measured with JYFLTRAP, ISOLTRAP, CPT, LEBIT and TITAN Penning traps with a typical precision of δm/m ≈ 10−7 − 10−8. In general, the results agree well with each other. The new data provide a valuable source of information and a challenge for the future development of theoretical mass models as well as for obtaining a deeper insight into microscopic properties of atomic nuclei as measured, for example, via key mass differentials. Shape transitions around N = 60, subshell closure at N = 40 and shell closures at N = 50 and N = 82 have been investigated in the trend of the precisely measured two-neutron separation energies. The evolution of two-neutron and two-proton shell gaps has been studied and compared to theoretical models for Z = 50, N = 50 and N = 82. Proton–neutron pairing effect in separation energies and odd–even staggering of masses are shortly discussed. In addition to nuclear structure, many experiments have been motivated by nuclear astrophysics.

Structure of 115Ag studied by β− decays of 115Pd and 115mPd
Rissanen, Juho; Kurpeta, Jan; Elomaa, Viki-Veikko; Eronen, Tommi; Hakala, Jani; Jokinen, Ari; Kankainen, Anu; Moore, Iain; Penttilä, Heikki; Plochocki, A.; Saastamoinen, Antti; Urban, W.; Weber, Christine; Äystö, Juha (American Physical Society, 2012)The excited levels of 115Ag have been studied via the beta decay of 115Pd and 115Pdm. The beta-decay schemes for both states have been considerably extended, especially the scheme following the decay of 115Pdm which ... -

Among these, the ... -
Superfluid properties of the inner crust of neutron stars
Pastore, Alessandro; Baroni, S.; Losa, C. (American Physical Society, 2011)We investigated the superfluid properties of the inner crust of neutron stars, solving the Hartree-FockBogoliubov equations in spherical Wigner-Seitz cells. Using realistic two-body interactions in the pairing channel, we ... -
