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 …

We present a review of recent applications of self-consistent relativistic mean-field models to
exotic nuclear structure. Based on concepts of non-renormalizable effective relativistic field …

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 …

A new set of Skyrme parameters is obtained from a fit to the binding energies, rms charge
radii, and single-particle energies of both normal and exotic spherical nuclei. Nuclear matter …

We study the extrapolation of nuclear shell structure to the region of superheavy nuclei in
self-consistent mean-field models—the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock approach and the relativistic …

The energies of the excited states in very neutron-rich S 42 i and P 41, 43 have been
measured using in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy from the fragmentation of secondary beams of …

The energies and B (E 2; 0 gs+→ 2 1+) values for the lowest J π= 2+ states in the neutron-
rich radioactive nuclei 3 8, 4 0, 4 2 S and 4 4, 4 6 Ar were measured via intermediate-energy …

The energy and reduced transition probability B (E2; 0g. s.+→ 2+) for the lowest excited
state in the neutron-rich isotope 1644S28 were measured by intermediate-energy Coulomb …

The quadrupole deformation properties of the ground and low-lying excited states of the
even–even magnesium isotopes with N ranging from 8 to 28 have been studied in the …
