Recent developments (since the last review in J. of Physics G by I. Tanihata in 1996 [1]) at
RIB facilities opened possibilities of detailed studies of halo nuclei. New facilities have been …

Implementing the Dubna Radioactive Ion Beams project (DRIBs) a new, efficient fragment
separator ACCULINNA-2 was installed recently at the primary beam line of the U-400M …

We report on the first observation of dineutron emission in the decay of Be 16. A single-
proton knockout reaction from a 53 MeV/u B 17 beam was used to populate the ground state …

The boundaries of the chart of nuclides contain exotic isotopes that possess extreme proton-
to-neutron asymmetries. Here we report on strong evidence of N 9, one of the most exotic …

The nuclear shell structure that has served as a fundamental framework for understanding
the arrangement of nucleons exhibits dramatic changes as the neutron to proton ratio in …

The structure and decay of O 26 are investigated in a three-body O 24+ n+ n model suitable
for studies of the long-lived (including radioactivity time scale) states. We have found …

Invariant mass measurements and breakup reactions of neutron-rich nuclei have been
instrumental in the study of nuclear structure effects at the limit of nuclear existence. The …

We study the two-neutron decay of the unbound 26 O nucleus with a three-body model
assuming an inert 24 O core and two valence neutrons. We first discuss the importance of …

I examine the history and current state of knowledge of the structure of so-called “exotic” light
nuclei with Z= 2-4, from 7 He to 16 Be. I review the available experimental information and …

We study the ground and excited resonance states of O 26 with a three-body model of O 24+
n+ n taking into account the coupling to the continuum. To this end, we use the new …
