We performed a quantitative study of the nuclei with proton numbers from Z= 20 (Ca) to Z=
28 (Ni) and neutron numbers ranging from N= 38 to 52 using the realistic shell model, which …

Shell quenching phenomena in nuclear charge radii are typically observed at the well-
established neutron magic numbers. However, the recent discovery of potential new magic …

The atomic masses of Sc 55, Ti 56, 58, and V 56-59 have been determined using the high-
precision multireflection time-of-flight technique. The radioisotopes have been produced at …

Atomic masses represent key ingredients to understand the structure of atomic nuclei. In
particular, they provide insights into the nuclear binding energy and, thus, into the combined …

The shell closure at N= 32 has been investigated by a first spectroscopy of the N= 31
nucleus Ar 49 at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory. Using the Ar 50 (p, pn) reaction …

The binding energy or mass is one of the most fundamental properties of an atomic nucleus.
Precise binding energies are vital inputs for many nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics …

Excited states in Mn 57 are populated using the Mn 55 (O 18, O 16) Mn 57 two-neutron
transfer reaction at the FN tandem accelerator in Cologne. Lifetimes of excited nuclear states …

Nuclear masses have been studied for over a century, with critical data providing important
constraints in nuclear physics studies. Penning trap mass spectrometry (PTMS) is one of the …

The neutron rich titanium isotopes are the focus of many studies during recent years.
Previously various groups have identified the level scheme for 55, 57, 59Ti isotopes …
