Masses of short-lived 49Sc, 50Sc, 70As, 73Br and stable 196Hg nuclides

A Nuclear Physics A paper collecting masses of the short-lived nuclides ⁴⁹Sc, ⁵⁰Sc, ⁷⁰As, ⁷³Br and of stable ¹⁹⁶Hg.

ISOLTRAP mass spectrometry spanning several ISOLDE beams, from light scandium to mercury, including species whose half-lives leave little room for a long trap cycle.

These masses sit on different parts of the chart: the f_{7/2} shell, the rp-process region, and a mercury reference. Publishing them together fills holes that single-campaign letters often leave.
