The structure of nuclear isomeric states is reviewed in the context of their role in
contemporary nuclear physics research. Emphasis is given to high-spin isomers in heavy …

The paper reviews recent developments in γ-ray spectroscopy of the neutron-rich fragments
produced in nuclear fission. This subject has been an intensive area of study spanning more …

Due to the lack of “how-to” pieces in the methods literature, a theatre artist who later became
an ethnographer offers this personal primer in playwriting with qualitative data …

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 …

We present a systematic configuration-interaction shell-model calculation on the structure of
light tin isotopes with a global optimized effective interaction. The starting point of the …

Nuclear isomers are the metastable excited states of nuclei. The isomers can be categorized
into a few classes including spin, seniority, K, shape and fission isomers depending upon …

Shell-model calculations are performed for even-even, odd-mass, and doubly-odd nuclei of
Sn, Sb, Te, I, Xe, Cs, and Ba isotopes around mass 130 using the single-particle space …

The present review takes steps from the domain of the shell model into open shell nuclei.
The question posed in the title is to dramatize how far shell model approaches, ie, many …

The 119–126 Sn nuclei have been produced as fission fragments in two reactions induced
by heavy ions: 12 C+ 238 U at a bombarding energy of 90 MeV and 18 O+ 208 Pb at 85 …

The γ-ray decay of an excited state in 131In, the one proton hole neighbor of the doubly
magic 132Sn has been measured. A high-spin, core-excited isomer with T1/2= 630 (60) ns …
