Investigation into the properties and structure of unstable nuclei far from stability is a key
avenue of research in modern nuclear physics. These efforts are motivated by the continual …

The development of on-line mass separators, which provide long chains of isotopes
extending far off stability, immediately raised the question of how to gain access to the basic …

The basic assumption in the nuclear shell model is that, to first order, each nucleon (proton
or neutron) is moving in an independent way in an average field. This is not so, a priori …

In spite of the high-density and strongly correlated nature of the atomic nucleus,
experimental and theoretical evidence suggests that around particular 'magic'numbers of …

One of the key issues in current nuclear physics research is to investigate the properties of
so-calledexotic nuclei'and ofexotic nuclear structures'. Exotic nuclei are nuclei with a proton …

Abstract Models based on nuclear energy density functionals can provide access to a
multitude of observables for thousands of nuclei in a single framework with microscopic …

The excitation energy of the 1/2− isomer in In 99 at N= 50 is measured to be 671 (37) keV
and the mass uncertainty of the 9/2+ ground state is significantly reduced using the …

We demonstrate that the pulsed-time structure and high-peak ion intensity provided by the
laser-ablation process can be directly combined with the high resolution, high efficiency, and …

Understanding the nuclear properties in the vicinity of 100Sn, which has been suggested to
be the heaviest doubly magic nucleus with proton number Z equal to neutron number N, has …

With increasing demand for accurate calculation of isotope shifts of atomic systems for
fundamental and nuclear structure research, an analytic energy derivative approach is …
