Nuclear masses play a fundamental role in understanding how the heaviest elements in the
Universe are created in the r process. We predict r-process nucleosynthesis yields using …

The bulk of the rare earth elements are believed to be synthesized in the rapid neutron
capture process or r process of nucleosynthesis. The solar r-process residuals show a small …

The β-delayed neutron emission of Ga 83, 84 isotopes was studied using the neutron time-of-
flight technique. The measured neutron energy spectra showed emission from states at …

We report B (E 2; 0 1+→ 2 n+) strengths for the neutron-rich Kr 88, 90 and Se 86 isotopes
from intermediate-energy Coulomb excitation. The electric quadrupole transition strengths to …

Low-spin excited levels in Br 51 35 86 and Kr 50 36 86, populated following β− decay and
the neutron-induced fission of U 235, were measured using the Lohengrin fission-fragment …

The work presented in this Ph. D. thesis focuses on the β-decay studies of neutron-rich
nuclei around the N= 50 shell closure, with a particular interest in the population of high …

The β-decay properties of the very neutron-rich nucleus Ge 85, produced in the proton-
induced fission of U 238, were studied at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility at Oak …

The work presented in this Ph. D. thesis focuses on the β-decay studies of neutron-rich
nuclei around the N= 50 shell closure, with a particular interest in the population of high …

The β-decay properties of the very neutron-rich Ge 84 nucleus were studied at the Holifield
Radioactive Ion Beam Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Several new γ-transitions …

Spectroscopy studies of nuclei around 78Ni are informing nuclear models about the
structure of ground and excited states reflecting the evolution of proton and neutron single …
