Abstract
SHIPTRAP will allow direct measurement of masses of transuranium nuclides. The method of choice is a Penning trap spectrometer coupled to the SHIP (Separator for Heavy Ion Products) facility at GSI, Darmstadt. In this paper the impact of the SHIPTRAP facility, with its capability of systematic mass measurements with high precision, is explored. Rather few masses of nuclides above uranium are presently known experimentally. In the region of nuclides above Z = 100 no ground state masses were measured directly. SHIPTRAP will play an important role in systematically map** out this area. Possible candidates for direct mass measurements, even with small or very small production cross sections, are presented.
