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 …

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 …

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 …

The N= 20 and N= 28 “islands of inversion” are described by large scale shell model
calculations with an extension of the interaction SDPF-U that makes it possible to mix …

Electric monopole, E 0 transitions in nuclei are reviewed. Values for ρ 2 (E 0)× 1 0 3, X (E
0/E 2) and q K 2 (E 0/E 2) are tabulated. Particular attention is paid to a complete re …

Collinear laser spectroscopy is performed on the Zn 49 30 79 isotope at ISOLDE-CERN. The
existence of a long-lived isomer with a few hundred milliseconds half-life is confirmed, and …

In-flight separators have played a significant role in the physics of exotic nuclei. In the last
decade, in particular, this field has expanded rapidly with the advent of the new-generation …

The last proton bound calcium isotope Ca 35 has been studied for the first time, using the Ca
37 (p, t) Ca 35 two neutron transfer reaction. The radioactive Ca 37 nuclei, produced by the …

We performed a quantitative study of the nuclei with proton numbers from Z= 20 (Ca) to Z=
28 (Ni) and neutron numbers ranging from N= 38 to 52 using the realistic shell model, which …

We performed ab initio valence-space in-medium similarity renormalization group
calculations based on chiral nucleon-nucleon and three-nucleon interactions to study the …
