Nuclear shape coexistence is the phenomenon in which distinct shapes occur within the
same nucleus and at a similar energy. In this work, we provide an overview of the …

Shape coexistence in nuclei appears to be unique in the realm of finite many-body quantum
systems. It differs from the various geometrical arrangements that sometimes occur in a …

Nowadays, the Gogny force is a referent in the theoretical description of nuclear structure
phenomena. Its phenomenological character manifests in a simple analytical form that …

We present a new effective interaction for shell-model calculations in the model space
consisting of the single-particle orbits 1 p 3/2, 0 f 5/2, 1 p 1/2, and 0 g 9/2. Starting with a …

Covariant density functional theory is a modern theoretical tool for the description of nuclear
structure phenomena. The current investigation aims at the global assessment of the …

In this article, the Recoil Distance Doppler-Shift (RDDS) method which is extensively used in
nuclear structure physics to determine level lifetimes and absolute transition probabilities is …

The Miniball germanium detector array has been operational at the REX (R adioactive ion
beam EX periment) post accelerator at the Isotope Separator On-Line facility ISOLDE at …

A novel dual–shell mechanism for the phenomenon of shape coexistence in nuclei within
the Elliott SU (3) and the proxy-SU (3) symmetry is proposed for all mass regions. It is …

A new parameterization of the effective nucleon–nucleon Gogny interaction is proposed. It
reproduces the neutron matter equation of state much better than the commonly used D1S …

We present a review of several works using the finite-range Gogny interaction in mean field
approaches and beyond to explore the most striking nuclear structure features. Shell …
