The past three decades have witnessed the emergence of exotic structures and dynamics in
weakly bound unstable nuclei located in the rapidly expanding nuclear chart. Examples …

Isomers close to doubly magic Ni 50 28 78 provide essential information on the shell
evolution and shape coexistence near the Z= 28 and N= 50 double shell closure. We report …

This article is devoted to a review of decay properties of excited 0+ states in regions of the
nuclear chart well known for shape coexistence phenomena. Even-even isotopes around …

The first experiment using radioactive beams post-accelerated by the HIE-ISOLDE facility
has enabled to obtain a precise set of B (E 2) transition probabilities in neutron-rich Zn 74 …

Neutron-rich nuclei are attracting significant attention due to vital roles in the
nucleosynthesis processes of the universe. The shell evolution which breaks or creates …

In recent decades, rare-isotope facilities have enabled the study of short-lived, neutron-rich
nuclei. Their measured properties indicate that shell structure changes in the regime of …

The low-lying nuclear structure of even-even Zn isotopes ranging from 62 Zn to 70 Zn has
been comprehensively examined through large scale shell model calculations. These …

Reduced transition probabilities have been extracted between excited, yrast states in the N=
Z+ 2 nucleus 94 Pd. The transitions of interest were observed following decays of the I π …

The structure of 74 Se at low energy was investigated via spectroscopy of internal
conversion electrons at the INFN Legnaro National Laboratories (LNL). A set of internal K …

β decay has played a key role in studies of shape coexistence throughout the nuclear chart.
This has been mainly due to the sensitivity in γ-ray and conversion electron spectroscopy …
