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 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 link the structure of nuclei around Sn 100, the heaviest doubly magic nucleus with equal
neutron and proton numbers (N= Z= 50), to nucleon-nucleon (NN) and three-nucleon (NNN) …

The shell structure of atomic nuclei is associated with 'magic numbers' and originates in the
nearly independent motion of neutrons and protons in a mean potential generated by all …

New shell model Hamiltonians are derived for the T= 1 part of the residual interaction in the f
5∕ 2 p 3∕ 2 p 1∕ 2 g 9∕ 2 model space based on the analysis and fit of the available …

The γ decay of excited states in the waiting-point nucleus Cd 82 130 has been observed for
the first time. An 8+ two-quasiparticle isomer has been populated both in the fragmentation …

The suggestion that some atomic nuclei would be able to exist in more than one stable or
metastable configuration was proposed by Soddy in 1917. Subsequently, the first …

The unstable neutron-deficient Sn 108 isotope has been studied in inverse kinematics by
intermediate-energy Coulomb excitation using the RISING/FRS experimental setup at GSI …

Lifetime measurements of low-lying excited states in the semimagic (N= 50) nucleus Rh 95
have been performed by means of the fast-timing technique. The experiment was carried out …

The reduced transition probabilities for the 4 1+→ 2 1+ and 2 1+→ 0 1+ transitions in Mo 92
and Ru 94 and for the 4 1+→ 2 1+ and 6 1+→ 4 1+ transitions in Zr 90 have been …
