The idea to document the discovery of all isotopes was not an ad hoc decision, but it
developed over several years. In 2003, I was asked to write a review article about the drip …

Using the fusion-evaporation reaction Cd 106 (Ni 58, 4 n) Os 160 and the gas-filled recoil
separator SHANS, two new isotopes Os 76 160 and W 74 156 have been identified. The α …

Neutron-deficient Hg 177− 185 isotopes were studied using in-source laser resonance-
ionization spectroscopy at the CERN-ISOLDE radioactive ion-beam facility in an experiment …

The new nuclides Pt 165 and Hg 170 were produced in the reactions Mo 92 (Kr 78, 5 n) and
Ru 96 (Kr 78, 4 n) at bombarding energies of 418 MeV and 390 MeV, respectively. For Hg …

The search for new nuclides has been an ongoing endeavour throughout the history of
nuclear physics, resulting in the discovery of around 3000 species to date and providing …

In this paper, we have analyzed the ground state structural properties of fermium-isotopes in
the mass range 2 2 1≤ A≤ 2 7 9 within the relativistic mean-field with NL3∗ and Relativistic …

Recently discovered α decays with new or improved data, covering naturally occurring α
emitters with long lifetimes, short-lived ones approaching the proton drip line, and decays of …

The regular systematic behavior of Q p values is analyzed to provide a basis for estimating Q
values for as yet unknown proton and α decays. These estimates are used in predicting …

A new high-spin isomeric state (t1/2= 2.8±0.1 μs) in 160Re has been identified. This high-
spin isomer is unique in that it only decays by γ-decay and not by proton or α-particle …

Excited states have been identified in the heaviest known even-Z N= 84 isotone 158 W,
which lies in a region of one-proton emitters and the two-proton drip line. The observation of …
