We study systematically the impact of the time-even tensor terms of the Skyrme energy
density functional, ie, terms bilinear in the spin-current tensor density, on deformation …

A complete set of electromagnetic moments, B (E 2; 0 1+→ 2 1+), Q (2 1+), and g (2 1+),
have been measured from Coulomb excitation of semimagic Sn 112, 114, 116, 118, 120 …

We develop an effective field theory (EFT) for nuclear vibrations. The key ingredients—
quadrupole degrees of freedom, rotational invariance, and a breakdown scale around the …

This work sheds light upon how the atomic nucleus polarizes throughout the nuclear chart.
Deviations from the well-known behavior of the nuclear dipole polarizability—which …

Level lifetimes provide key insight into the structure of atomic nuclei and serve as stringent
tests of theoretical descriptions. Though several methods for determining level lifetimes exist …

Two consecutive Coulomb excitation experiments were performed to excite the 2 1+ states
of Sn 112, 116 using a Ni 58 beam. For Sn 112 a B (E 2↑) value of 0.242 (8) e 2 b 2 has …

High-precision measurements of〈 0 1|| M (E 2)|| 2 1〉 matrix elements from the Coulomb
excitation of 124, 126, 128 Sn on a 12 C target are presented. The extracted B (E 2) values …

High-precision reduced electric-quadrupole transition probabilities B (E 2; 0 1+→ 2 1+) have
been measured from single-step Coulomb excitation of semi-magic Ni 58, 60, 62, 64 (Z= 28) …

The 2 1+ states of Sn 114, 116 were excited in two consecutive experiments by means of
Coulomb excitation in inverse kinematics on a Ni 58 target. A precise determination of the …

Background: Electron scattering provides a powerful tool to determine charge distributions
and transition densities of nuclei. This tool will soon be available for short-lived neutron-rich …
