Like few other parameters, the mass of an atom, and its inherent connection with the atomic
and nuclear binding energy is a fundamental property, a unique fingerprint of the atomic …

The study of nuclear decay modes reveals a large panel of nuclear structure phenomena
and allows us to investigate the behaviour of the atomic nucleus with an extreme imbalance …

A very exotic process of β-delayed fission of Tl 180 is studied in detail by using resonant
laser ionization with subsequent mass separation at ISOLDE (CERN). In contrast to common …

ISOLTRAP is a Penning trap mass spectrometer for high-precision mass measurements on
short-lived nuclides installed at the on-line isotope separator ISOLDE at CERN. The masses …

First β-and γ-spectroscopic decay studies of the N= 82 r-process “waiting-point” nuclide C d
130 have been performed at CERN/ISOLDE using the highest achievable isotopic …

Unambiguous values of the spin and magnetic moment of M g 31 are obtained by combining
the results of a hyperfine-structure measurement and a β-NMR measurement, both …

The nuclear structure in the 100Sn region is reviewed. State-of-the-art experimental
techniques involving stable and radioactive beam facilities have enabled access to exotic …

We report on the measurement of the Be 7 (n, p) Li 7 cross section from thermal to
approximately 325 keV neutron energy, performed in the high-flux experimental area …

The shape of exotic even-mass Pb 182–190 isotopes was probed by measurement of
optical isotope shifts providing mean square charge radii (δ⟨ r 2⟩). The experiment was …

The applications of the laser resonance ionization method in nuclear research are reviewed.
Investigation of radioactive isotopes using resonance ionization techniques provides a …
