RT Journal Article T1 Probing the quantum phase transition near N ≈ 60 via mass measurements of technetium isotopes A1 Ruotsalainen, J. A1 Jaries, A. A1 Stryjczyk, M. A1 Kankainen, A. A1 Andel, B. A1 Araszkiewicz, M. A1 Beliuskina, O. A1 Fraile Prieto, Luis Mario A1 Llanos-Expósito, M. A1 Solak, K. AB The masses of neutron-rich ^(104-106)Tc isotopes were measured using the JYFLTRAP double Penning trap and found to deviate from the Atomic Mass Evaluation 2020 by-79(25), 40(12), and 94(41) keV, respectively. In the case of ^(105,106)Tc, the updated Q_(β) values are in agreement with a previous JYFLTRAP measurement, disagreeing with the values from the mass evaluation. The new mass values result in a more linear trend in two-neutron separation energies indicating that technetium (Z = 43) isotopes around N ≈ 60 are not a part of the island of shape coexistence around ^(100)Zr_(60).
