Article Synopsis
  • A precision mass investigation of neutron-rich titanium isotopes ^{51-55}Ti was conducted at TRIUMF's TITAN facility, with a focus on the N=32 shell closure.
  • The study successfully reduced uncertainty in the mass values of ^{52-55}Ti and confirmed the presence of a weak shell effect at N=32.
  • The findings were compared to advanced ab initio shell model calculations, revealing discrepancies in predicting the strength and extent of the shell gap in titanium isotopes, and marked the first results from a new mass spectrometer at TITAN.

A new data acquisition system including a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based time-resolved scaler was developed for laser-induced fluorescence and beam bunch coincidence measurements. The FPGA scaler was tested in a collinear laser-spectroscopy experiment on radioactive (37)K at the BEam COoler and LAser spectroscopy (BECOLA) facility at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University. A 1.
