[en] This research program is concerned with measuring atomic masses and decay schemes of short-lived, neutron-rich fission products with the TRISTAN on-line mass separator located at the High Flux Beam Reactor (HFBR), Brookhaven National Laboratory. The determination of accurate masses for neutron-rich nuclei is useful in refining mass equations wich, in turn, are important for calculations related to astrophysical processes and to control and safety of nuclear reactors. During the period covered by this report, efforts have been to aid Brookhaven personnel in the installation and testing of TRISTAN and the associated computer systems, and to begin a program of measurements of β-ray end-point energies and nuclear decay schemes following successful demonstration of the facility. 2 figures
