The spectrum of states in very heavy and super heavy nuclei is the result of a delicate
balance between the strong Coulomb repulsion between the numerous protons in the …

Abstract GABRIELA (Gamma Alpha Beta Recoil Investigations with the Electromagnetic
Analyzer) is a detection system installed at the focal plane of the SHELS (Separator for …

The nuclear structure of Cf 248 was investigated at the Tokai Tandem Accelerator
Laboratory of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency. Cf 248 was one of the nuclei produced in …

The decay of excited states in No 255 was investigated by applying the evaporation-residue–
conversion-electron correlation technique. Two new isomeric states were observed in No …

The experimental energies of yrast-band states are known up to the spin of 32^+ for some
Pu, Cm, Fm, and No isotopes—in particular, for^ 248 Cm. Their unique property is that all …

Energies of yrast-band levels are calculated using extrapolation for some heavy and
superheavy nuclei. The estimated energies are found based on information for neighboring …

The odd-Z Md 251 nucleus was studied using combined γ-ray and conversion-electron in-
beam spectroscopy. Besides the previously observed rotational band based on the [521] …

The success encountered in the systematic studies of the electric and magnetic strength
functions for almost all even-even nuclei proves the quality of our HFB+ QRPA calculations …

Background: Rotational bands have been measured around Fm 250 associated with strong
deformed-shell closures. The K π= 2− excited band emerges systematically in N= 150 …

After more than half a century after the first predictions of the so-called" island of stability of
superheavy nuclei", exploring the limits of nuclear stability at highest atomic numbers is still …
