Nuclear reactions induced by photons play a vital role for very different aspects of basic
research and applications in physics. They are a key ingredient for the synthesis of nuclei in …

The nucleus is one of the most multifaceted many-body systems in the Universe. It exhibits a
multitude of responses depending on the way one “probes” it. With increasing technical …

Considerable progress has been achieved in the experimental investigation and theoretical
understanding of isovector valence shell structures in heavy nuclei that are frequently called …

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 …

After a short introduction to the nuclear resonance fluorescence technique (NRF) and a brief
description of typical photon scattering facilities, the present topical review focuses on three …

Excited low-spin states in 94 Mo have been studied extensively with a combination of γ-ray
spectroscopic techniques. We have performed photon scattering experiments, γ γ …

The quantum many body system of protons and neutrons that makes up the nucleus of
atoms has been studied for nearly 100 years, yet there are many unexplored aspects. One of …

Following the successful identification of mixed-symmetric one-and two-phonon states in the
N= 52 nuclei 94Mo and 96Ru, we have performed a photon scattering experiment on the N …

The low-lying spectra of heavy nuclei are investigated within the quasiparticle–phonon
model. This microscopic approach goes beyond the quasiparticle random-phase …

We identify a J π= 3 ms+ state in 94 Mo. This identification is based on six M 1 and E 2
strengths and is the first identification of a 3 ms+ state from B (M 1) and B (E 2) values. The …
