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 …

The third edition of a classic book, Basic Ideas and Concepts in Nuclear Physics sets out in
a clear and consistent manner the various elements of nuclear physics. Divided into four …

The development, present status and future perspectives of the Monte Carlo shell model are
discussed. The development and limitation of the conventional shell model calculations are …

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 …

The influence of the isoscalar and isovector L= 0 pairing components of the effective
nucleon-nucleon interaction is evaluated for several isobaric chains, in the framework of full …

Complete diagonalizations in the pf major shell lead to very good agreement with the
experimental data (level schemes, transitions rates, and static moments) for the A= 47 and …

The neutron-rich Fe isotopes from A= 61 to 66 were studied through multinucleon transfer
reactions by bombarding a U 238 target with a 400 MeV Ni 64 beam. Unambiguous …

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 …
