The 76Cu conundrum remains unsolved

B. Olaizola, A. Illana, J. Benito +80

Near the doubly-magic nucleus \nuc{Ni}{78} (, ), there has been a decades-long debate on the existence of a long-lived isomer in \nuc{Cu}{76}. A recent mass measurement…

Beta delayed neutron emission of Cd

M. Madurga, Z. Y. Xu, 1 R. Grzywacz +54

Using the time-of-flight technique, we measured the beta-delayed neutron emission of Cd. From our large-scale shell model (LSSM) calculation using the NLO interaction […

Simultaneous -ray and electron spectroscopy of Hg isotopes

M. Stryjczyk, B. Andel, J. G. Cubiss +48

Background: The mercury isotopes around are a well-known example of nuclei exhibiting shape coexistence. Mixing of configurations can be studied by measuring the monopole s…

The observation of vibrating pear shapes in radon nuclei: update

P. A. Butler, L. P. Gaffney, P. Spagnoletti +41

There is a large body of evidence that atomic nuclei can undergo octupole distortion and assume the shape of a pear. This phenomenon is important for measurements of electric-dipol…

Evolution of Octupole Deformation in Radium Nuclei from Coulomb Excitation of Radioactive Ra and Ra Beams

P. A. Butler, L. P. Gaffney, P. Spagnoletti +40

There is sparse direct experimental evidence that atomic nuclei can exhibit stable pear shapes arising from strong octupole correlations. In order to investigate the nature of octu…
