Design and characterization of Ion sources for CHIP-TRAP
At Central Michigan University, we are develo** a high-precision Penning trap mass spectrometer (CHIP-TRAP) for precise mass measurements with stable and long-lived isotopes. Ions will be produced using exte...

Identification and investigation of possible ultra-low Q value β decay candidates
Among the wide energy range of β decays, there can exist decays with Q values as low as a few hundred eV. These decays can occur when the parent decays to a excited state in the daughter nucleus. Such decays have...

Asthma in Children Born After Infertility and Assisted Reproductive Treatment (ART): Evidence from the Millennium Cohort Study
Background: Recent reports suggest an excess risk of asthma in children born after assisted reproductive treatment (ART). Using data from a large UK cohort we examine asthma in children born after infertility and...

Technical developments for an upgrade of the LEBIT Penning trap mass spectrometry facility for rare isotopes
The LEBIT (Low Energy Beam and Ion Trap) facility is the only Penning trap mass spectrometry (PTMS) facility to utilize rare isotopes produced via fast-beam fragmentation. This technique allows access to pract...

Fast-Beam Laser Spectroscopy of Helium-like Silicon
Doppler-tuned laser spectroscopy has been applied to a foil-stripped 1 MeV/u silicon ion beam to measure the 1s2s 1 S 0–1s2p 3 P 1 intercombination interval in 28Si12+. To obtain sufficient transition probability...
