description Atomiytimen yksi perusominaisuuksista on sen massa. Ytimen massa ja sidosenergia voidaan määrittää suurella tarkkuudella Penningin loukulla tehtävistä atomimassamittauksista. Ytimen sidosenergia on tärkeä tutkiessa, kuinka ydinrakenne muuttuu kauempana stabiileista isotoopeista. Näillä ominaisuuksilla on myös astrofysikaalista merkitystä, sillä niiden tarkka määrittäminen vaikuttaa malleihin, jotka kuvaavat alkuaineiden tuottoa tähdissä. Tutkimus toteutettiin Jyväskylän yliopiston kiihdytinlaboratorion Ion Guide Isotope Separator On-Line (IGISOL) -laitteistolla käyttäen JYFLTRAP -Penningin loukkua tarkkoihin atomimassamittauksiin. Atomimassat määritettiin yhteensä 19 neutronirikkaalle isotoopille, jotka sijaitsevat massalukujen A = 150 ja A = 170 välillä harvinaisten maametallien alueella. Mittauksissa käytettiin uusinta, ionin vaiheen kuvantamiseen perustuvaa, niin kutsuttua PI-ICR tekniikkaa. Isotooppien <sup>152,153</sup>La, <sup>169</sup>Tb ja <sup>170,171</sup>Dy atomimassat määritettiin kokeellisesti ensimmäistä kertaa maailmassa. Tutkittujen isotooppiketjujen kahden neutronin irrotusenergiat määritettiin paljon aiempaa tarkemmin, mikä paljasti erityisesti harvinaisen ja odottamattoman voimakkaan kummun neutroniluvuilla N = 92− 94 lantaaniketjussa. Tutkittu alue protoniluvun Z ≈ 66 ja neutroniluvun N ≈ 104 ympäristössä on tärkeä astrofysikaalisille laskuille. Tehdyt tarkat massamittaukset auttavat parantamaan nopean neutroninsieppausprosessin (r-prosessin) mallintamista ja ymmärtämään harvinaisten maametallien muodostumista siinä. Tulos on merkittävä, sillä astrofysikaalinen r-prosessi tuottaa noin puolet rautaa raskaampien alkuaineiden määrästä Aurinkokunnassa. Radioaktiivisten ionien tuottomenetelmien kehittyessä voidaan tutkia yhä eksoottisempia ytimiä ja laajentaa tietämystä niiden ominaisuuksista. Saksassa rakenteilla oleva Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) avaa uusia mahdollisuuksia harvinaisten ja erittäin neutronirikkaiden ytimien tutkimiseen. Jotta sen ainutlaatuiset tuotantokyvyt voitaisiin hyödyntää täysin, tasavirtaiset ionisuihkut on hidastettava ja vapautettava ajallisesti erotettuina, lyhyinä ionikimppuina massaspektrometria- ja laserspektroskopiamittauksia varten. Tätä tarkoitusta varten kehitettiin uusi ionien jäähdytin-kimputin nimeltään HIBISCUS. Tässä väitöskirjatyössä HIBISCUS-laite suunniteltiin, rakennettiin ja otettiin käyttöön. Laite tulee sijoittumaan FAIR-laboratorion NUSTAR-kokeen matalan energian osastolle. HIBISCUS-laitteen yksityiskohtaiset ominaisuudet ja suorituskyky esitetään tässä väitöskirjassa. One of the fundamental properties of an atomic nucleus, its mass, can be probed with high precision by means of Penning trap mass spectrometry. The related nuclear binding energy is important for studying how the nuclear structure evolves further away from stability. This property is also of astrophysical interest, as its precise determination impacts the models describing the processes responsible for stellar nucleosynthesis. This research was carried out at the Ion Guide Isotope Separator On-Line (IGISOL) facility of the Accelerator Laboratory in Jyväskylä, using the JYFLTRAP double Penning trap mass spectrometer. In this thesis work, a total of 19 masses of neutron-rich isotopes, located around A = 150 and A = 170 in the rareearth region of the nuclide chart, were measured using a state-of-the-art detection method, the Phase-Imaging Ion-Cyclotron-Resonance technique (PI-ICR). These results extend the experimentally-known masses of the lanthanum, terbium and dysprosium isotopic chains with the first mass determination of the nuclides <sup>152,153</sup>La, <sup>169</sup>Tb and <sup>170,171</sup>Dy. The trends in two-neutron separation energies of these chains were pinned down with unprecedented precision and notably revealed a rare and unexpected strong bump at neutron numbers N = 92 − 94 in the lanthanum chain. The precision mass measurements in the doubly midshell region around proton number Z ≈ 66 and neutron number N ≈ 104 also provide valuable astrophysical inputs, to better model the formation of the rareearth abundance peak in the rapid neutron-capture process, responsible for the production of half of the heavy-element abundances in the Solar system. As new radioactive ion beam facilities emerge to push further the boundaries of experimentally-reachable exotic nuclei, so do opportunities for studying and extending the knowledge on their properties. The upcoming Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) will give access to the study of rare and extremely neutron-rich nuclei. In order to fully utilize its unique production capabilities, the continuous beams will have to be slowed down and released as temporally-short ion bunches for the mass spectrometry and laser spectroscopy experiments placed downstream. For this purpose, HIBISCUS, a new ion beam cooler-buncher, was developed and commissioned offline in the context of this research work, as a Finnish in-kind contribution to the low-energy branch of FAIR. Its detailed characteristics and performance are reported in this thesis.
