Abstract
Direct mass measurements of A=80 isobars were performed using the second cyclotron of SARA (Système Accélérateur Rhône-Alpes) of the ISN (Institut des Sciences Nucléaires) in Grenoble as a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Using the 300 MeV $\ ^{58}$ Ni + $\ ^{27}$ Al reaction, the isobars $^{\rm 80}$ Rb, $^{\rm 80}$ Sr, $^{\rm 80}$ Y, and $^{\rm 80}$ Zr (only one event!) were measured. For $^{\rm 80}$ Y we found a mass value of 79.934320(180) u, corresponding to a decay energy Q ( $^{\rm 80}$ Y $\rightarrow$ $^{\rm 80}$ Sr) of $(9120 \pm 170)$ keV. Comparing this value to the former experiments of Lister et al. and Della Negra et al. results in a difference of about 2.2 MeV. However, it does agree with the recommended value of Audi and Wapstra, which is derived from systematic trends. For $^{\rm 80}$ Zr the single event was identified with a probability of 0.999975 and a mass value of 79.940400(1600) u could be deduced from our experiment.
