The last decades brought impressive progress in synthesizing and studying properties of
nuclides located very far from the beta stability line. Among the most fundamental properties …

In the last two decades, through technological, experimental and theoretical advances, the
situation in experimental fission studies has changed dramatically. With the use of advanced …

Presented are features of the in-flight radioactive isotope (RI) beam separators in Japan as
well as of a next-generation separator BigRIPS being built at RIKEN for the RI-beam factory …

We have developed a method for achieving excellent resolving power in in-flight particle
identification of radioactive isotope (RI) beams at the BigRIPS fragment separator at the …

Storage rings have been employed over three decades in various kinds of nuclear and
atomic physics experiments with highly charged ions. Storage ring operation and precision …

Mass and lifetime measurements lead to the discovery and understanding of basic
properties of matter. The isotopic nature of the chemical elements, nuclear binding, and the …

Short-lived exotic nuclei can be produced and separated with the high-energy secondary
nuclear beam facility FRS at GSI. These nuclides can be injected and stored in the storage …

Shapes and high-spin properties of nuclei from the neutron-rich (N> 56) zirconium region
are calculated using the Nilsson-Strutinsky method with the cranked Woods-Saxon average …

A model calculation is presented which predicts the complex nuclide distribution resulting
from peripheral relativistic heavy-ion collisions involving fissile nuclei. The model is based …

A search for isomeric γ decays among fission fragments from 345 MeV/nucleon 238 U has
been performed at the RIKEN Nishina Center RI Beam Factory. Fission fragments were …
