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 …

The suggestion that some atomic nuclei would be able to exist in more than one stable or
metastable configuration was proposed by Soddy in 1917. Subsequently, the first …

Nuclear charge radii are sensitive probes of different aspects of the nucleon–nucleon
interaction and the bulk properties of nuclear matter, providing a stringent test and challenge …

In rare cases, the removal of a single proton (Z) or neutron (N) from an atomic nucleus leads
to a dramatic shape change. These instances are crucial for understanding the components …

Molecular spectroscopy offers opportunities for the exploration of the fundamental laws of
nature and the search for new particle physics beyond the standard model,,–. Radioactive …

One of the most important global properties of the atomic nucleus is its size. Experimentally
determined nuclear charge radii carry unique information on the nuclear force and complex …

Charge radii of neutron deficient Sc 40 and Sc 41 nuclei were determined using collinear
laser spectroscopy. With the new data, the chain of Sc charge radii extends below the …

The mean-square charge radii of Hg 207, 208 (Z= 80, N= 127, 128) have been studied for
the first time and those of Hg 202, 203, 206 (N= 122, 123, 126) remeasured by the …

The changes in the mean-square charge radius (relative to Bi 209), magnetic dipole, and
electric quadrupole moments of Bi 187, 188, 189, 191 were measured using the in-source …

The change in mean-square nuclear charge radii δ⟨ r 2⟩ along the even-A tin isotopic
chain Sn 108-134 has been investigated by means of collinear laser spectroscopy at …
