Exotic nuclides at the reactor pik: pitrap project

Abstract

The PITRAP-project for mass measurements of exotic nuclides is based on the use of high flux-reactor PIK and a high precision Penning trap mass spectrometry. This combination gives a synergy in exploration of different problems of fundamental physics: from astrophysics to neutrino physics.
