Penning trap mass measurements to test three-body forces in atomic nuclei

Recent theoretical studies have shown that three-nucleon forces are important for understand- ing neutron-rich nuclei, and for the formation of nuclear shell structure. In particular, theory can not reproduce the N = 28 magic number in ⁴⁸Ca using two-body interactions. This magic number is only repr...
