description

Direct mass measurements with electron-cooled ions coasting in a heavy-ion storage ring allow the mapping of large areas of the nuclear chart, well suited to explore new regions and to investigate isospin effects as well as structure changes far-off stability. In this contribution first results will be discussed, experimental masses will be compared to theoretical predictions. A study of the isospin dependence of shell strength and pairing will be made.
