Mass Measurements of Neutron-Deficient Yb Isotopes and Nuclear Structure at the Extreme Proton-Rich Side of the N=82 Shell

High-accuracy mass measurements of neutron-deficient Yb isotopes have been performed at TRIUMF using TITAN’s multiple-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometer (MR-TOF-MS). For the first time, an MR-TOF-MS
