摘要:Among all nuclear ground-state properties, atomic masses are highly specific for each particular
combination of N and Z and the data obtained apply to a variety of physics topics. One of the
most crucial questions to be addressed in mass spectrometry of unstable radionuclides is the one
of understanding the processes of element formation in the Universe. To this end, accurate atomic
mass values of a large number of exotic nuclei participating in nucleosynthesis are among the
key input data in large-scale reaction network calculations. In this paper, a review on the latest
achievements in mass spectrometry for nuclear astrophysics is given.
