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 …

Gamma spectroscopic studies exploiting deep-inelastic heavy-ion reactions in thick target
experiments are reviewed. The description of physical motivation, history of early …

The shapes of neutron-rich exotic Ni isotopes are studied. Large-scale shell model
calculations are performed by the advanced Monte Carlo shell model (MCSM) for the pf-g …

Abstract The neutron-rich 6 6, 6 8 Ni have been produced at GANIL via interactions of a 6 5.
9 A MeV 70 Zn beam with a 58 Ni target. Their reduced transition probability B (E 2; 0 1+→ …

We first review the shell evolution in exotic nuclei driven by nuclear forces. We then
demonstrate that the underlying mechanism played by the balance of the tensor and central …

PRISMA is a magnetic spectrometer for heavy ions under construction at Legnaro, with very
large solid angle (80 msr), wide momentum acceptance (±10%) and good mass resolution …

New shell model Hamiltonians are derived for the T= 1 part of the residual interaction in the f
5∕ 2 p 3∕ 2 p 1∕ 2 g 9∕ 2 model space based on the analysis and fit of the available …

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 …

The reduced transition probabilities B (E 2; 0+→ 2 1+) of the neutron-rich Zn 74 and Ni 70
nuclei have been measured by Coulomb excitation in a Pb 208 target at intermediate …

The neutron-rich nuclei, 66 Co, 68 Co, and 70 Co were produced using a laser-ionization
isotope-separation on-line method. The resulting β-delayed γ decay was studied. The half …
