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 …

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 …

Like few other parameters, the mass of an atom, and its inherent connection with the atomic
and nuclear binding energy is a fundamental property, a unique fingerprint of the atomic …

Shape coexistence in odd-mass nuclei near closed shells (±1 and±3 nucleons) is reviewed.
Two main approaches are presented. The more historical one starts from the explicit …

Atomic and nuclear physics are two flourishing but distinct branches of physics; the subject
of isotope shifts in atomic spectra is one of the few that links these two branches. It is a …

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 technique of collinear fast-beam laser spectroscopy has been used to measure the
isotope shifts of the even-even isotopes of Hg (Z= 80) in the mass range 182≤ A≤ 198 at …

Hyperfine structures and isotope shifts of barium isotopes in the mass range 122–146 have
been measured in the atomic transition 6 s 21S 0→ 6 s 6 p 1P 1 (5536 A ̊), utilizing …

From the earliest days of nuclear physics (Rut 11, Rut 14), the spatial extent of atomic nuclei
and the radial distribution of nuclear charge and matter have received considerable …

The one-dimensional flow of a continuous beam of Bose-Einstein condensed atoms in the
presence of an obstacle is studied as a function of the beam velocity and of the type of …
