Abstract

The JYFLTRAP double Penning trap at the Ion Guide Isotope Separator On-Line facility has been used to
measure the atomic masses of 13 neutron-rich rare-earth isotopes. Eight of the nuclides, 161Pm, 163Sm, 164,165Eu, 167Gd, and 165,167,168Tb, were measured for the first time. The systematics of the mass surface has been studied
via one- and two-neutron separation energies as well as neutron pairing-gap and shell-gap energies. The protonneutron pairing strength has also been investigated. The impact of the new mass values on the astrophysical rapid neutron capture process has been studied. The calculated abundance distribution results in a better agreement
with the solar abundance pattern near the top of the rare-earth abundance peak at around A ≈ 165.
