Towards direct mass spectrometry of superheavy elements at SHIPTRAP — •Oliver Kaleja for the SHIPTRAP collaboration — MPIK Heidelberg — JGU Mainz — GSI Darmstadt

The Penning-trap mass spectrometer SHIPTRAP enables direct high-precision measurements of the heaviest elements produced at the velocity filter SHIP. The results allow us to probe and refine nuclear theories and contribute to the quest of finding the predicted island of stability. In order to extend direct mass measurements to superheavy elements (Z ≥ 104) in the upcoming beamtime period in 2018 the setup was modified to accommodate the low production rates. In parallel, a second setup is being developed to adapt a non-destructive detection technique with single-ion sensitivity to this mass region. In this contribution an overview of the recent activities will be presented.
