This review examines the tendency of light nuclei to exhibit clustering, where correlations
between nucleons result in the formation of precipitates, typically α particles. The …

Recent developments (since the last review in J. of Physics G by I. Tanihata in 1996 [1]) at
RIB facilities opened possibilities of detailed studies of halo nuclei. New facilities have been …

The main purpose of the present manuscript is to review the structural evolution along the
isotonic and isotopic chains around the “traditional” magic numbers 8, 20, 28, 50, 82 and …

Clustering has long been known to be influential in the structure of ground and excited
states of N= Z nuclei. States close to the decay thresholds are of particular interest, as …

A review of evidence on the properties of the A= 12 nuclei, with emphasis on material
leading to information about the structure of the A= 12 systems.

We review recent studies of the evolution of collective excitations in atomic nuclei far from
the valley of β-stability. Collective degrees of freedom govern essential aspects of nuclear …

We have surveyed the neutron separation energies (S n) and the interaction cross sections
(σ I) for the neutron-rich p− sd and the sd shell region. Very recently, both measurements …

Applications of the nuclear shell model to nuclei out to the proton and neutron drip lines are
presented. The assumptions and hamiltonians for the mean-field and shell-model …

Presented are features of the in-flight radioactive isotope (RI) beam separators in Japan as
well as of a next-generation separator BigRIPS being built at RIKEN for the RI-beam factory …

▪ Abstract The identification of direct-reaction processes and their subsequent exploitation
for the spectroscopy of weak radioactive beams of exotic nuclei are important problems in …
