The main purpose of the present manuscript is to review the structural evolution along the
isotonic and isotopic chains around the “traditional” magic numbers 8, 20, 28, 50, 82 and …

The often surprising properties of nuclei beyond the valley of β stability have prompted
extensive experimental and theoretical studies aimed at identifying the driving forces behind …

The effective interaction GXPF1 for shell-model calculations in the full pf shell is tested in
detail from various viewpoints such as binding energies, electromagnetic moments and …

Nuclear charge radii of Ni 55, 56 were measured by collinear laser spectroscopy. The
obtained information completes the behavior of the charge radii at the shell closure of the …

The development, present status and future perspectives of the Monte Carlo shell model are
discussed. The development and limitation of the conventional shell model calculations are …

An effective interaction is derived for use in the full pf basis. Starting from a realistic G-matrix
interaction, 195 two-body matrix elements and four single-particle energies are determined …

Abstract The neutron-rich 6 6, 6 8 Ni have been produced at GANIL via interactions of a 6 5.
9 A MeV 70 Zn beam with a 58 Ni target. Their reduced transition probability B (E 2; 0 1+→ …

The energy and reduced transition probability B (E2; 0g. s.+→ 2+) for the lowest excited
state in the neutron-rich isotope 1644S28 were measured by intermediate-energy Coulomb …

Inelastic proton scattering exciting the 2+ 1 states in the neutron-rich beryllium isotopes 10,
12Be has been studied in inverse kinematics. From a coupled-channel analysis, the …

The closed shell structure at N= Z= 28 is studied by a large-scale shell model calculation by
the quantum Monte Carlo diagonalization method. Latest crucial improvements of the …
