In this review article we discuss the present status of direct nuclear reactions and the nuclear
structure aspects one can study with them. We discuss the spectroscopic information we can …

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 nuclear charge radius of Si 32 was determined using collinear laser spectroscopy. The
experimental result was confronted with ab initio nuclear lattice effective field theory, valence …

The last proton bound calcium isotope Ca 35 has been studied for the first time, using the Ca
37 (p, t) Ca 35 two neutron transfer reaction. The radioactive Ca 37 nuclei, produced by the …

The interest to perform laser spectroscopy in the heaviest elements arises from the strong
impact of relativistic effects, electron correlations and quantum electrodynamics on their …

The angular momentum projection (AMP) method is implemented in the deformed relativistic
Hartree-Bogoliubov theory in continuum (DRHBc) with the point-coupling density functional …

The quantum-mechanic nature of nuclear matter is at the origin of the vision of a region of
enhanced stability at the upper right end of the chart of nuclei, the so-called'island of …

Background: The central depression of nucleonic density, ie, a reduction of density in the
nuclear interior, has been attributed to many factors. For instance, bubble structures in …

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 …

The shape of a nucleus is one of the fundamental nuclear properties. We perform a
systematic investigation of bubble nuclei that also exhibit shape coexistence in Hf, W, Os, Pt …
