The main purpose of the present manuscript is to review the structural evolution along the
isotonic and isotopic chains around the “traditional” magic numbers 8, 20, 28, 50, 82 and …

In this review, we describe the experimental facilities and methods which make it possible to
produce and measure the properties of the extreme neutron-rich nuclei. We then develop …

Nuclear magic numbers correspond to fully occupied energy shells of protons or neutrons
inside atomic nuclei. Doubly magic nuclei, with magic numbers for both protons and …

We present a new effective interaction for shell-model calculations in the model space
consisting of the single-particle orbits 1 p 3/2, 0 f 5/2, 1 p 1/2, and 0 g 9/2. Starting with a …

Radioactive ion beam facilities are transforming nuclear science by making beams of exotic
nuclei with various properties available for experiments. New infrastructures and …

The Miniball germanium detector array has been operational at the REX (R adioactive ion
beam EX periment) post accelerator at the Isotope Separator On-Line facility ISOLDE at …

The masses of the neutron-rich copper isotopes Cu 75–79 are determined using the
precision mass spectrometer ISOLTRAP at the CERN-ISOLDE facility. The trend from the …

The lifetimes of the first excited 2+ states in Fe 62 and Fe 64 have been measured for the
first time using the recoil-distance Doppler shift method after multinucleon transfer reactions …

The first experiment using radioactive beams post-accelerated by the HIE-ISOLDE facility
has enabled to obtain a precise set of B (E 2) transition probabilities in neutron-rich Zn 74 …

The previously pioneered Isochronous Mass Spectrometry (IMS) has been extended by an
additional precise magnetic-rigidity determination to enable accurate large-scale …
