Nuclear shape coexistence is the phenomenon in which distinct shapes occur within the
same nucleus and at a similar energy. In this work, we provide an overview of the …

Shape coexistence in nuclei appears to be unique in the realm of finite many-body quantum
systems. It differs from the various geometrical arrangements that sometimes occur in a …

The last decade has witnessed both quantitative and qualitative progress in shell-model
studies, which have resulted in remarkable gains in our understanding of the structure of the …

The effective interaction GXPF1 for shell-model calculations in the full pf shell is tested in
detail from various viewpoints such as binding energies, electromagnetic moments and …

Shell-model calculations in the full pf-shell are carried out for the A= 50, 51 and 52 isobars.
The most frequently used effective interactions for the pf-shell, KB3 and FPD6 are revisited …

The development, present status and future perspectives of the Monte Carlo shell model are
discussed. The development and limitation of the conventional shell model calculations are …

An effective interaction is derived for use in the full pf basis. Starting from a realistic G-matrix
interaction, 195 two-body matrix elements and four single-particle energies are determined …

The Table of Superdeformed Nuclear Bands and Fission Isomers contains all experimental
data on the nuclear structure of superdeformed bands published through October, 2002 …

A rotational band with seven γ-ray transitions between states with spin 2 ħ and 16 ħ has
been observed in the doubly magic, self-conjugate nucleus 20 40 Ca 20. The measured …

The observation of a weak proton-emission branch in the decay of the 3174-keV 53mCo
isomeric state marked the discovery of proton radioactivity in atomic nuclei in 1970. Here we …
