Milan Matos: Mass Measurements of Exotic Nuclei

Milan gave a nice summary of mass measurement techniques. Milan mentioned the importance of masses to neutron star modeling. He then summarized current techniques including direct measurements such as Penning traps, Schottky method, time-of-flight, and indirect measurements done with transfer reactions. Milan also mentioned capabilities of different facilities producing isotopes in different regions of the chart of nuclides.
