Abstract
The astrophysical origin for the chemical elements between the first and second r-process peaks is a matter of intense debate, with a number of nucleosynthesis processes at explosive stellar environments possibly contribut- ing to their production. Reliable data on the trends of neutron separation energies of neutron-rich isotopes are required to model neutron-capture processes that would produce these elements. Masses of 104Y, 106Zr, 112Mo, and 115Tc have been measured with the time-of-flight-magnetic-rigidity (ToF-Bρ) technique at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University. The experiment is the first application of the ToF-Bρ technique at the S800 spectrograph that reached the mass region relevant to heavy-element nucleosynthesis. The two-neutron separation energy deduced from the measured masses exhibits a smooth trend consistent with the theoretical predictions within the range of experimental uncertainty, indicating that there is no sudden shape transition in these isotopes as hinted at by previous data.
