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 …

Multizone models of Type I X-ray bursts are presented that use an adaptive nuclear reaction
network of unprecedented size, up to 1300 isotopes, for energy generation and include 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 …

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 …

The nuclear two-photon or double-gamma (2 γ) decay is a second-order electromagnetic
process whereby a nucleus in an excited state emits two gamma rays simultaneously. To be …

Mass excesses of short-lived A= 2 Z-1 nuclei Ge 63, As 65, Se 67, and Kr 71 have been
directly measured to be-46 921 (37),-46 937 (85),-46 580 (67), and-46 320 (141) keV …

Shape coexistence in the light krypton isotopes was studied in two low-energy Coulomb
excitation experiments using radioactive Kr 74 and Kr 76 beams from the SPIRAL facility at …

We discuss the systematics of ground-state quadrupole correlations of binding energies and
mean-square charge radii for all even-even nuclei, from 16 O up to the superheavies, for …

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 …
