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 …

One of the most interesting features of nuclei is the process by which specific configurations,
manifest as collective rotational bands at intermediate spin values, gradually lose their …

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 …

Structures of the medium-to high-spin states in the doubly magic nucleus 56 Ni have been
investigated using the reaction 28 Si (36 Ar, 2 α) and the γ-ray spectrometer Gammasphere …

The doubly magic superdeformed band in the N= Z nucleus 60 Zn has been identified.
Linking transitions connecting this band to the yrast line provide the first spin, parity, and …

Superdeformed and highly deformed rotational bands in the A∼ 60 mass region are studied
within cranked relativistic mean field theory and the configuration-dependent cranked …

The excitation energy, spin, and parity of the yrast superdeformed band in 152 Dy have
been firmly established. The evidence comes mainly from the measured properties of a …

Two sets of strongly coupled rotational bands have been identified in 62 Zn. These bands
have been observed up to the terminating states of their respective configurations. Lifetime …

We review the principal advances and results of magnetic moment measurements for short-
lived nuclear states. The latest variants of the technique combine projectile Coulomb …

The g factors of the first 2+ states and the B (E 2) values of the (2 1+→ 0 1+) transitions have
been determined with high precision for all stable doubly even Zn isotopes employing the …
