Investigation into the properties and structure of unstable nuclei far from stability is a key
avenue of research in modern nuclear physics. These efforts are motivated by the continual …

High-resolution laser spectroscopy is an established powerful tool in the study of nuclear
shape, size and multipole moments. Measurements of the hyperfine structures and isotope …

The authors review the present status of self-consistent mean-field (SCMF) models for
describing nuclear structure and low-energy dynamics. These models are presented as …

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 …

Shape coexistence in doubly even nuclei is reviewed. Two main theoretical approaches are
presented. The first is essentially the shell model with the excitation of pairs of protons …

Presently available relativistic and nonrelativistic effective interactions do not predict the
same behavior for the isotope shifts in the Pb region. We analyze this difference and find that …

A systematic study of low energy nuclear structure at normal deformation is carried out using
the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory extended by the generator coordinate method and …

We present nuclear reaction network calculations to investigate the influence of nuclear
structure on the rp-process between Ge and Sn in various scenarios. Due to the lack of …

Atomic physics techniques for the determination of ground-state properties of radioactive
isotopes are very sensitive and provide accurate masses, binding energies, Q-values …

Electric monopole (E0) properties are studied across the entire nuclear mass surface.
Besides an introductory discussion of various model results (shell model, geometric …
