Nuclear mass measurements map the structure of atomic nuclei and accreting neutron stars

ATOMIC MASSES 48,49Ar, 52,53,54,55,56,57Sc, 56,57,58,59Ti, 57,58,59,60,61,62V, 64,65Cr, 67,68Mn, 67,68,69,70Fe; measured time of flight, ΔE, Bπ, and mass excess using the A1900 fragment separator and the S800 spectrograph for particle identification at the NSCL-MSU facility; deduced S(2n), and Dn(Z, A)=S(n)(Z, A+1)-S(n)(Z, A), related to pairing gap. Comparison with available evaluated data in AME2016, and with shell model calculations using GX1A Hamiltonian for Sc isotopes. Discussion of upper-Z limit for N=34 subshell closure and lower-Z limit for N=40 subshell, and impact on electron-capture cooling in neutron star crusts.

Time-of-flight mass measurements of neutron-rich chromium isotopes up to N=40 and implications for the accreted neutron star crust

ATOMIC MASSES 59,60,61,62,63,64Cr; measured mass excesses by time-of-flight (TOF) method using 9Be(82Se, X), E=140 MeV/nucleon for production of Si to Zn isotopes and A1900 fragment separator and S800 spectrograph for fragment separation and analysis at NSCL-MSU. TOF versus mass contour plot obtained for Ar (A=44-49), K (A=47-52), Ca (A=49-55), Sc (A=52-58), Ti (A=54-60), V (A=57-63), Cr (A=59-66), Mn (A=62-70) and Fe (A=64-71) isotopes. Analyzed S(2n) trends and compared to AME-2012. Comparison with state-of-the-art shell-model calculations using modified Lenzi-Nowacki-Poves-Sieja interaction in the fp shell, and with AME-2012 data. Mass of 64Cr used in accreted neutron star crust network calculations, and deduced reduction in strength depth of electron-capture heating from A=64 isobaric chain.

NUCLEAR REACTIONS 9Be(82Se, X), E=140 MeV/nucleon; measured time-of-flight, energy loss, fragment yields of 150 isotopes from Si to Zn using A1900 fragment separator and S800 spectrograph at NSCL-MSU.
