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…

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…

Measurement of the ground-state transition in the decay of F

O. S. Kirsebom, M. Hukkanen, A. Kankainen +36

We report the first detection of the second-forbidden, non-unique, , ground-state transition in the decay of F. A low-energy, mass-separated $^{20}\r…
