Direct high-precise mass measurements around mass number A = 22 are of utmost importance. First, the masses of the superallowed β−emitter ²²Mg and its daughter ²²Na are needed to test the CVC hypothesis and the CKM-matrix unitarity, both being predictions of the Standard Model. Second, to calculate the reaction rate of ²¹Na(p,γ)²²Mg the involved masses are required. This rate is needed in order to extract an upper limit on the amount of a characteristic γ−radiation emitted from classical nova bursts which has been searched for but not yet detected. At the triple trap mass spectrometer ISOLTRAP, the masses of ²¹Na, ²²Na, and ²²Mg have been measured with relative uncertainties of better than 1.5×10⁻⁸. This solved a conflict between two available mass values for ²²Mg. The mass measurements as well as their impact will be presented.
