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 …

This article is devoted to a review of decay properties of excited 0+ states in regions of the
nuclear chart well known for shape coexistence phenomena. Even-even isotopes around …

In rare cases, the removal of a single proton (Z) or neutron (N) from an atomic nucleus leads
to a dramatic shape change. These instances are crucial for understanding the components …

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 …

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 …

Neutron-rich Sr 96, 98 isotopes have been investigated by safe Coulomb excitation of
radioactive beams at the REX-ISOLDE facility. Reduced transition probabilities and …

Nuclear low-lying excitation spectra are studied with the Bayesian neural network (BNN)
approach by taking 0 2+, 2 1+, and 4 1+ states as examples. The BNN approach can well …

The idea of production of short-lived radioisotopes with the on-line technique has it roots in
the early 1950s. In 1964 this became a reality when CERN approved an experiment at the …

Background: The mass region with A≈ 100 and Z≈ 40 is known to experience a sudden
onset of deformation. The presence of the subshell closure Z= 40 makes it feasible to create …

With the recent advances in radioactive ion beam technology, Coulomb excitation at safe
energies becomes an important experimental tool in nuclear-structure physics. The …
