14 Mass and half-life of 38Ca
Experiment IS437: Precision measurement of the half-life and the β-decay Q value of the superallowed 0+→0+ β decay of 38Ca fluorination of 38Ca at target and removal of daughter 38mK with REXTRAP half-life measurement with tape-station system mounted behind REXTRAP mass measurement (in parallel) with ISOLTRAP simulation for 38Ca talk by Bertram Blank on Wednesday B. Blank et al.

15 Time-separated rf excitations (Ramsey scheme)
TOF / μs Frequency detuning / Hz two excitation periods S. George et al. (to be published)

16 Preliminary result 38Ca preliminary S. George et al. (to be published)
38Ca19F preliminary 38Ca S. George et al. (to be published)

17 The case of 26,27Al ? (evaluation in progress ...)

18 Ion yields at ISOLDE SC and PSB yields protons neutrons
