Signatures of criticality in the evolution of the nuclear ground-state shapes across the N× Z
plane are discussed. Attention is paid to specific data indicating sudden structural changes …

Recent developments in precision mass spectrometry of radioactive isotopes (RI) and some
selected related physics subjects are reviewed. In the last decades, besides conventional …

Protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus move in shells analogous to the electronic shell
structures of atoms. The nuclear shell structure varies as a result of changes in the nuclear …

The analysis of self-consistency and proton-neutron interaction effects in the buildup of
differential charge radii were carried out in covariant density functional theoretical …

The microscopic origins and the current predictions of the proxy-SU (3) symmetry model of
atomic nuclei were reviewed. Beginning with experimental evidence for the special roles …

The density dependence of nuclear symmetry energy remains poorly constrained. Starting
from precise empirical values of the nuclear volume and surface symmetry energy …

Mass measurements of the nuclides As 69, Se 70, 71, and Br 71, produced via
fragmentation of a Xe 124 primary beam at the Fragment Separator (FRS) at GSI, have been …

The relevance of coupling of quadrupole and octupole collective degrees of freedom in
physical observables is explored in calculations with the Gogny force for the light radon …

Certain double differences of binding energies can be constructed that exhibit the valence
proton-neutron interaction. These double differences, known as δ V pn (Z, N), show …

In this paper we study the residual proton-neutron interactions and make use of the
systematics of these interactions to describe experimental data of nuclear masses and to …
