Nowadays, the Gogny force is a referent in the theoretical description of nuclear structure
phenomena. Its phenomenological character manifests in a simple analytical form that …

In this review, we describe the experimental facilities and methods which make it possible to
produce and measure the properties of the extreme neutron-rich nuclei. We then develop …

The zirconium isotopes with A= 92–110 have one of the most complicated evolution of
structure in the nuclear chart. In order to understand the structural evolution of these …

Background: The mass region with A≈ 100 and Z≈ 40 is known to experience a sudden
onset of deformation. The presence of the subshell closure Z= 40 makes it feasible to create …

We report on the first γ-ray spectroscopy of low-lying states in neutron-rich Kr 98, 100
isotopes obtained from Rb 99, 101 (p, 2 p) reactions at∼ 220 MeV/nucleon. A reduction of …

Background: β-decay half-life is sensitive to the shell structure near the Fermi levels. Nuclear
deformation thus impacts the β-decay properties. Purpose: A first-order shape-phase …

We explore the situation of intertwined quantum phase transitions (IQPTs), for which a QPT
involving a crossing of two configurations is accompanied by a shape evolution of each …

Background: Sr isotopes are located in the mass region A≈ 100, where a very quick onset
of nuclear deformation exists; other notable examples of this area are Yb, Zr, and Nb nuclei …

We provide a microscopic global optical potential (MGOP) for nucleon-nucleus (NA) systems
in a wide range of nuclear mass numbers (A= 10–276) and incident energies (E= 50–400 …

A first γ-ray study of Cl 47, 49 spectroscopy was performed at the Radioactive Isotope Beam
Factory with Ar 50 projectiles at 217 MeV/nucleon, im**ing on the liquid hydrogen target of …
