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 …

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 …

We study the development of collectivity in the neutron-rich nuclei around N= 40, where the
experimental and theoretical evidence suggest a rapid shape change from the spherical to …

The structure of nuclear isomeric states is reviewed in the context of their role in
contemporary nuclear physics research. Emphasis is given to high-spin isomers in heavy …

The lifetimes of the first excited 2+ states in Fe 62 and Fe 64 have been measured for the
first time using the recoil-distance Doppler shift method after multinucleon transfer reactions …

We present a review of several works using the finite-range Gogny interaction in mean field
approaches and beyond to explore the most striking nuclear structure features. Shell …

The first implementation of the AGATA spectrometer consisting of five triple germanium
detector clusters has been installed at Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro, INFN. This setup has …

The transition rates for the 2 1+ states in Fe 62, 64, 66 were studied using the recoil distance
Doppler-shift technique applied to projectile Coulomb excitation reactions. The deduced E 2 …

Multinucleon transfer reactions, characterized by the exchange of many nucleons at
energies in the vicinity of the Coulomb barrier, have been extensively used in the last …

Using the time parameter in the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, we study the time of
flight for a particle tunneling through a square barrier potential. Comparing the mean and …
