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 …

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 …

ABSTRACT A 'year-2017'set of nuclear quadrupole moments, Q, is presented. Compared to
the previous,'year-2008'set, a major revision of the value, or an improvement of the accuracy …

Isomers close to doubly magic Ni 50 28 78 provide essential information on the shell
evolution and shape coexistence near the Z= 28 and N= 50 double shell closure. We report …

Nuclear charge radii of 62− 80 Zn have been determined using collinear laser spectroscopy
of bunched ion beams at CERN-ISOLDE. The subtle variations of observed charge radii …

Background: Heavy-ion one-nucleon transfer reactions are promising tools to investigate
single-particle configurations in nuclear states with and without the excitation of the core …

Exotic nuclei are characterized by having a number of neutrons (or protons) in excess
relative to stable nuclei. Their shell structure, which represents single-particle motion in a …

Background: The low-energy enhancement observed recently in the deexcitation γ-ray
strength functions, suggested to arise due to the magnetic dipole (M 1) radiation, motivates …

We report absolute frequency, isotope shift, radiative lifetime, and hyperfine structure
measurements of the (4 s 2) S 0 1→(4 s 4 p) P 1 1 (213.8 nm) transition in Zn I using a …
