In this article, the Recoil Distance Doppler-Shift (RDDS) method which is extensively used in
nuclear structure physics to determine level lifetimes and absolute transition probabilities is …

This review discusses the main achievements and future perspectives of the MAGNEX
spectrometer at the INFN-LNS laboratory in Catania (Italy). MAGNEX is a large-acceptance …

The Advanced GAmma Tracking Array (AGATA) is a European project to develop and
operate the next generation γ-ray spectrometer. AGATA is based on the technique of γ-ray …

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 …

Measurements and ion optic calculations showed that the large momentum acceptance of
the VAMOS spectrometer at GANIL could be further increased from∼ 11% to∼ 30% by …

The properties of superheavy elements probe extremes of physics and chemistry. They are
synthesised at accelerator laboratories using nuclear fusion, where two atomic nuclei …

Particle identification techniques are fundamental tools in nuclear physics experiments.
Discriminating particles or nuclei produced in nuclear interactions allows to better …

An upgraded and improved version of the Focal Plane Detector (FPD) of the large-
acceptance magnetic spectrometer MAGNEX is described here. The FPD consists of a …

Abstract The Advanced GAmma Tracking Array (AGATA) has been installed at the GANIL
facility, Caen-France. This set-up exploits the stable and radioactive heavy-ions beams …

Multinucleon transfer reactions in Ca 40+ Zr 96 and Zr 90+ Pb 208 have been measured at
energies close to the Coulomb barrier in a high-resolution γ-particle coincidence …
