Triga-Trap is currently the only Penning trap mass spectrometer installed at a nuclear reactor. High-precision mass measurements on neutron-rich fission products and actinoids will be performed here to provide valuable input data for tests of nuclear structure models as well as for astrophysical calculations of the r-process. The setup also serves as a test bench for the development of new detection techniques which will be implemented at other experiments at the future GSI facility FAIR. As an example, a non-destructive image current detection system will allow mass measurements on single stored singly-charged ions whereas a few hundred to thousands are typically needed with the traditionally used time-of-flight resonance method. Triga-Trap is presently the only on-line Penning trap mass spectrometer where simultaneously the destructive and non-destructive detection techniques are implemented. The poster will show the technical developments and give an overview on first time-of-flight mass measurements already performed on rare earth elements and actinoids.
