Abstract

We present a summary of precision atomic mass measurements of stable isotopes carried out at Florida State University. These include the alkalis ⁶Li, ²³Na, ^39,41K, ^85,87Rb, ¹³³Cs; the rare gas isotopes ^84,86Kr and ^{129,130,132,136}Xe; ^17,18O, ¹⁹F, ²⁸Si, ³¹P, ³²S; and various isotope pairs of importance to neutrino physics, namely ^74,76Se/^74,76Ge, ¹³⁰Xe/¹³⁰Te, and ¹¹⁵In/¹¹⁵Sn. We also summarize our Penning trap measurements of the dipole moments of PH⁺ and HCO⁺.
