Abstract

The masses of the xenon isotopes with 114 ≤ A ≤ 123 were directly measured for the first time. The experiments were carried out at the Isoltrap triple trap spectrometer at the on-line mass separator Isolde/cern. A mass resolving power of the Penning trap spectrometer of m/δm ≈ 500 000 was chosen and an accuracy of δm ≈ 12 kev for all investigated Xe isotopes was achieved. An atomic mass evaluation was performed and the results of this adjustment are compared with theoretical predictions. The new results for the xenon isotopes and their effects on neighboring nuclides are discussed within the two-neutron separation energy picture.
