Abstract
Neutron-rich isotopes have been studied utilizing the double Penning trap mass spectrometer JYFLTRAP at the IGISOL facility. Using the phase-imaging ion-cyclotron-resonance technique, the isomeric states were resolved from ground states and their excitation energies measured with high precision in . In , the states were separated and their masses were measured while the energy difference between the unresolved and states, whose presence was confirmed by post-trap decay spectroscopy, was determined to be keV. In addition, the half-life of , , was extracted. Experimental results were compared with energy density functionals, density functional theory, and shell-model calculations.
