The last decade has witnessed both quantitative and qualitative progress in shell-model
studies, which have resulted in remarkable gains in our understanding of the structure of the …

One of the most interesting features of nuclei is the process by which specific configurations,
manifest as collective rotational bands at intermediate spin values, gradually lose their …

A superdeformed rotational band has been identified in 36 Ar, linked to known low-spin
states, and observed to its high-spin termination at I π= 16+. Cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky and …

Spectroscopy of excited states of proton-rich nuclei has advanced considerably in recent
years. This is due to recent experimental developments in the identification of nuclei …

Our understanding of angular–momentum-projection goes beyond quantum-number
restoration for symmetry-violated states. The angular–momentum-projection method can be …

Gamma rays from the N= Z− 2 nucleus 50 Fe have been observed, establishing the
rotational ground state band up to the state J π= 11+ at 6.994 MeV excitation energy. The …

We review the principal advances and results of magnetic moment measurements for short-
lived nuclear states. The latest variants of the technique combine projectile Coulomb …

Lifetimes have been measured in a superdeformed rotational band recently identified in the
N= Z nucleus 36 Ar. A large low-spin quadrupole deformation (β 2= 0.46±0. 0 3) is confirmed …

Lifetimes of the 2 1+ states in 44 Ti, 48, 50 Cr, and 52 Fe were determined with high
accuracy exploiting the recoil distance Doppler-shift method. The reduced E2 transition …

We have used large-scale shell-model diagonalization calculations to determine the level
spectra, proton spectroscopic factors, and electromagnetic transition probabilities for proton …
