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 …

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 …

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+→ …

Electric monopole, E 0 transitions in nuclei are reviewed. Values for ρ 2 (E 0)× 1 0 3, X (E
0/E 2) and q K 2 (E 0/E 2) are tabulated. Particular attention is paid to a complete re …

The development and present status of the Ion Guide Isotope Separator On-Line technique
is presented. Applications to nuclear physics research include decay spectroscopy of proton …

In-flight separators have played a significant role in the physics of exotic nuclei. In the last
decade, in particular, this field has expanded rapidly with the advent of the new-generation …

A search for shape isomers in the Ni 66 nucleus was performed, following old suggestions of
various mean–field models and recent ones, based on state-of-the-art Monte Carlo shell …

The applications of the laser resonance ionization method in nuclear research are reviewed.
Investigation of radioactive isotopes using resonance ionization techniques provides a …

The production of the heaviest elements in nature occurs via the r-process, ie a combination
of rapid neutron captures, the inverse photodisintegrations, and slower β−-decays, β …

Nuclear reactions where an exotic nucleus captures a neutron are critical for a wide variety
of applications, from energy production and national security, to astrophysical processes …
