This review paper concerns the research devoted to the study of the properties of dipole
excitations in nuclei. The main focus is on questions related to isospin effects in these types …

An overview is given on some of the main advances in the experimental methods,
experimental results, theoretical models and ideas of the last few years in the field of nuclear …

The GEF (“GEneral description of Fission observables”) model code is documented. It
describes the observables for spontaneous fission, neutron-induced fission and, more …

Photon strength functions describing the average response of the nucleus to an
electromagnetic probe are key input information in the theoretical modelling of nuclear …

In this work, we have reviewed the Oslo method, which enables the simultaneous extraction
of the level density and γ-ray transmission coefficient from a set of particle-γ coincidence …

A novel technique has been developed, which will open exciting new opportunities for
studying the very neutron-rich nuclei involved in the r process. As a proof of principle, the γ …

Magnetic dipole strength functions are deduced from averages of a large number of M 1
transition strengths calculated within the shell model for the nuclides Zr 90, Mo 94, Mo 95 …

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 …

The γ-ray strength function of Fe 56 has been measured from proton-γ coincidences for
excitation energies up to≈ 11 MeV. The low-energy enhancement in the γ-ray strength …

Nuclear level density is important for evaluating nuclear reaction processes, but its
microscopic investigation is not frequently performed. The present work applies a recently …
