High-precision mass measurement of doubly magic 208Pb
The absolute atomic mass of 208Pb has been determined with a fractional uncertainty of 7×10−11 by measuring the cyclotron-frequency ratio R of 208Pb41+ to 132Xe26+ with the high-precision Penning-trap mass spectrometer Pentatrap and computing the binding energies EPb and EXe of the missing 41 and 26...

| Zusammenfassung: | The absolute atomic mass of 208Pb has been determined with a fractional uncertainty of 7×10−11 by measuring the cyclotron-frequency ratio R of 208Pb41+ to 132Xe26+ with the high-precision Penning-trap mass spectrometer Pentatrap and computing the binding energies EPb and EXe of the missing 41 and 26 atomic electrons, respectively, with the ab initio fully relativistic multi-configuration Dirac–Hartree–Fock (MCDHF) method. R has been measured with a relative precision of 9×10−12. EPb and EXe have been computed with an uncertainty of 9.1 eV and 2.1 eV, respectively, yielding 207.976650571(14) u (u=9.3149410242(28)×108 eV/c2) for the 208Pb neutral atomic mass. This result agrees within 1.2σ with that from the Atomic-Mass Evaluation (AME) 2020, while improving the precision by almost two orders of magnitude. The new mass value directly improves the mass precision of 14 nuclides in the region of Z = 81–84 and is the most precise mass value with A>200. Thus, the measurement establishes a new region of reference mass values which can be used e.g. for precision mass determination of transuranium nuclides, including the superheavies. |
