The atomic nucleus is a quantum many-body system whose constituent nucleons (protons
and neutrons) are subject to complex nucleon-nucleon interactions that include spin-and …

Shape coexistence in nuclei appears to be unique in the realm of finite many-body quantum
systems. It differs from the various geometrical arrangements that sometimes occur in a …

Experimental results of E2 transition probabilities or B (E2) values for the known first 2+
states in 447 even–even nuclei have been compiled and evaluated. The evaluation policies …

High-resolution laser spectroscopy is an established powerful tool in the study of nuclear
shape, size and multipole moments. Measurements of the hyperfine structures and isotope …

The nuclear shell model has perhaps been the most important conceptual and
computational paradigm for the understanding of the structure of atomic nuclei. While the …

Subjecting a physical system to extreme conditions is one of the means often used to obtain
a better understanding and deeper insight into its organization and structure. In the case of …

We predict the limits of existence of atomic nuclei, the proton and neutron drip lines, from the
light through medium-mass regions. Starting from a chiral two-and three-nucleon interaction …

The last decade has witnessed both quantitative and qualitative progress in shell-model
studies, which have resulted in remarkable gains in our understanding of the structure of the …

We derive new Hamiltonians for the sd shell, USDA and USDB, based on a renormalized G
matrix with linear combinations of two-body matrix elements adjusted to fit a complete set of …

The main purpose of the present manuscript is to review the structural evolution along the
isotonic and isotopic chains around the “traditional” magic numbers 8, 20, 28, 50, 82 and …
