Recent developments in precision mass spectrometry of radioactive isotopes (RI) and some
selected related physics subjects are reviewed. In the last decades, besides conventional …

The field of nuclear science has considerably advanced since its beginning just over a
century ago. Today, the science of rare isotopes is on the cusp of a new era with theoretical …

A kinematically complete quasifree (p, pn) experiment in inverse kinematics was performed
to study the structure of the Borromean nucleus B 17, which had long been considered to …

Abstract PUMA, antiProton Unstable Matter Annihilation, is a nuclear-physics experiment at
CERN aiming at probing the surface properties of stable and rare isotopes by use of low …

We report here the first observation of the 0 2+ state of He 8, which has been predicted to
feature the condensatelike α+ n 2+ n 2 cluster structure. We show that this state is …

The past three decades have witnessed the emergence of exotic structures and dynamics in
weakly bound unstable nuclei located in the rapidly expanding nuclear chart. Examples …

The neutron-rich unbound fluorine isotope F 21 30 has been observed for the first time by
measuring its neutron decay at the SAMURAI spectrometer (RIBF, RIKEN) in the quasifree …

The structure and decay of the most neutron-rich beryllium isotope, Be 16, has been
investigated following proton knockout from a high-energy B 17 beam. Two relatively narrow …

To search for low-energy resonant structures in isospin T= 3/2 three-body systems, we have
performed the experiments H 3 (t, He 3) 3 n and He 3 (He 3, t) 3 p at intermediate energies …

Abstract The Borromean halo nucleus 6 He has been studied by a kinematically complete
measurement of Coulomb and nuclear breakup into α+ 2n on Pb and C targets at 70 …
