Nuclear shape coexistence is the phenomenon in which distinct shapes occur within the
same nucleus and at a similar energy. In this work, we provide an overview of the …

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 …

Due to the lack of “how-to” pieces in the methods literature, a theatre artist who later became
an ethnographer offers this personal primer in playwriting with qualitative data …

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 N= 20 and N= 28 “islands of inversion” are described by large scale shell model
calculations with an extension of the interaction SDPF-U that makes it possible to mix …

Collinear laser spectroscopy is performed on the Zn 49 30 79 isotope at ISOLDE-CERN. The
existence of a long-lived isomer with a few hundred milliseconds half-life is confirmed, and …

Excited states in Si 38, 40, 42 nuclei have been studied via in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy with
multinucleon removal reactions. Intense radioactive beams of S 40 and S 44 provided at the …

Many properties of the atomic nucleus, such as vibrations, rotations and incompressibility,
can be interpreted as due to a two-component quantum liquid of protons and neutrons …

Background: The possibility that an unconventional depletion (referred to as a “bubble”)
occurs in the center of the charge density distribution of certain nuclei due to a purely …

Excited-state spectroscopy from the first experiment at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams
(FRIB) is reported. A 24 (2)-μ s isomer was observed with the FRIB Decay Station initiator …
