The rapid-neutron capture process (r process) is identified as the producer of about 50% of
elements heavier than iron. This process requires an astrophysical environment with an …

New physics opportunities are opening up by the Advanced Gamma Tracking Array, AGATA,
as it evolves to the full 4 π π instrument. AGATA is a high-resolution γ γ-ray spectrometer …

A NaI (Tl) detector array called DALI2 (Detector Array for Low Intensity radiation 2) has been
constructed for in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy experiments with fast radioactive isotope (RI) …

There is sparse direct experimental evidence that atomic nuclei can exhibit stable “pear”
shapes arising from strong octupole correlations. In order to investigate the nature of …

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 …

The first experiment using radioactive beams post-accelerated by the HIE-ISOLDE facility
has enabled to obtain a precise set of B (E 2) transition probabilities in neutron-rich Zn 74 …

Coulomb-excitation experiments to study electromagnetic properties of radioactive even-
even Hg isotopes were performed with 2.85 MeV/nucleon mercury beams from REX …

A knob bow fibula (Bügelknopffibel) of the Leutkirch type, which typologically belongs to the
second half of the 4th and early 5th century CE, was excavated in 2018 in the Roman city of …

There is a large body of evidence that atomic nuclei can undergo octupole distortion and
assume the shape of a pear. This phenomenon is important for measurements of electric …

Abstract γ-ray tracking is based on a new generation of position sensitive high-purity
germanium (HPGe) detectors. A novel type of cluster detector was successfully developed …
