What it covers
CERN INTC proposal INTC-P-382: precision ISOLTRAP masses to watch how the N=82 shell gap evolves far below tin, toward silver and palladium.
Methods and setup
The ask is ISOLDE neutron-rich cadmium and neighbour beams, MR-ToF cleaning, and Penning-trap masses across N=82.
Why it matters
Models disagreed on whether the gap survives below Z=50. This proposal is the beam-time case that later produced the ¹³²Cd PRL.
