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 …

Nuclear magic numbers correspond to fully occupied energy shells of protons or neutrons
inside atomic nuclei. Doubly magic nuclei, with magic numbers for both protons and …

Isomers close to doubly magic Ni 50 28 78 provide essential information on the shell
evolution and shape coexistence near the Z= 28 and N= 50 double shell closure. We report …

This article is devoted to a review of decay properties of excited 0+ states in regions of the
nuclear chart well known for shape coexistence phenomena. Even-even isotopes around …

A search for shape isomers in the Ni 66 nucleus was performed, following old suggestions of
various mean–field models and recent ones, based on state-of-the-art Monte Carlo shell …

The first experiment using radioactive beams post-accelerated by the HIE-ISOLDE facility
has enabled to obtain a precise set of B (E 2) transition probabilities in neutron-rich Zn 74 …

The underlying structure of low-lying collective bands of atomic nuclei is discussed from a
novel perspective on the interplay between single-particle and collective degrees of …

Neutron-capture reactions on very neutron-rich nuclei are essential for heavy-element
nucleosynthesis through the rapid neutron-capture process, now shown to take place in …

Isomer spectroscopy of heavy neutron-rich nuclei beyond the N= 126 closed shell has been
performed for the first time at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory of the RIKEN Nishina …

We report first precision mass measurements of the 1/2− isomeric and 9/2+ ground states of
In 101. The determined isomeric excitation energy continues a smooth trend of odd-A indium …
