The atomic nucleus is a quantum many-body system whose constituent nucleons (protons
and neutrons) are subject to complex nucleon-nucleon interactions that include spin-and …

We survey the impact of nuclear three-body forces on structure properties of nuclei within the
shell model. It has long been acknowledged, since the seminal works of Zuker and …

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 …

The nuclear structure in the 100Sn region is reviewed. State-of-the-art experimental
techniques involving stable and radioactive beam facilities have enabled access to exotic …

We report on the measurement of the first 2+ and 4+ states of Cr 66 and Fe 70, 72 via in-
beam γ-ray spectroscopy. The nuclei of interest were produced by (p, 2 p) reactions at …

The connection between fundamental nucleon-nucleon forces and the observed many-body
structure of nuclei is a main question of modern nuclear physics. Evolution of the mean field …

Detailed spectroscopy of the neutron-unbound nucleus F 28 has been performed for the first
time following proton/neutron removal from Ne 29/F 29 beams at energies around 230 …

The evolution of the N= 28 shell closure is investigated far from stability. Using the latest
results obtained from various experimental techniques, we discuss the main properties of …

The level structure of the neutron-rich Cu 77 nucleus is investigated through β-delayed γ-ray
spectroscopy at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory of the RIKEN Nishina Center. Ions of …

We perform a quantitative study of the microscopic effective shell-model interactions in the
valence sd shell, obtained from modern nucleon-nucleon potentials, chiral N3LO, JISP16 …
