Abstract:
We report mass measurements of neutron-rich Ga isotopes Ga80-85 with TRIUMF's Ion Trap for Atomic and Nuclear science. The measurements determine the masses of Ga80-83 in good agreement with previous measurements. The masses of Ga-84 and Ga-85 were measured for the first time. Uncertainties between 25 and 48 keV were reached. The new mass values reduce the nuclear uncertainties associated with the production of A approximate to 84 isotopes by the r-process for astrophysical conditions that might be consistent with a binary neutron star (BNS) merger producing a blue kilonova. Our nucleosynthesis simulations confirm that BNS merger may contribute to the first abundance peak under moderate neutron-rich conditions with electron fractions Y-e = 0.35-0.38.
