The search for chargeless nuclei consisting only of neutrons has been a long-lasting challenge in nuclear physics, dating more than six decades back (see Ref. [1] for a recent review). The tetraneutron, in particular, has attracted a lot of experimental and theoretical attention. Most models agree that nuclear forces cannot bind four neutrons together without destroying many of the other...
Light proton-unbound nuclei, $^8$C, $^7$B, $^6$Be and $^5$Li, were investigated by the missing mass method. By using this method, we can measure resonances independently of their decay channels. This is efficient especially for the four-proton unbound nucleus $^8$C. Decay channels can be also investigated by the coincidence detection.
We performed the experiment with an N=3 isotone secondary...
In the shell model framework, the two-body nuclear force can be divided into a central, spin-orbit (SO) and tensor parts. The vast majority of studies performed so far in the chart of nuclides shows that the amplitude of the SO splitting scales with the function presented by G.Mairle [1], from systematics of nuclei studied so far in the valley of stability. Two exceptions to this trend have...
Proton-removal reactions along the Be-Li chain close to the drip-line have been investigated with the aim of establishing the role of the Geometrical Mismatch Factor (GMF) and NN effects [1] in lowering the cross sections, as observed previously in He-Li nuclei [2].
The experiment was performed at GANIL using 10Be and 12Be beams at 30 AMeV impinging a CD2 target, with an intensity of 3 ·...
The Z=6 shell gap in neutron-rich carbon isotopes has been a subject of debate, with recent studies claiming its prevalence in this region of the nuclear chart [1], in contradiction with recent measurements [2] and shell model predictions [3].
In order to shed more light into this subject, the structure of $^{19}$N was investigated through the proton-removal d($^{20}$O, $^{3}$He) reaction...

MUGAST [1] is a state-of-the-art silicon array combining trapezoidal and square shaped double-sided silicon strip detectors (DSSD) to four MUST2 [2] telescopes. Coupled to a gamma-ray spectrometer, the excellent angular coverage and compacity of the MUGAST array make it an ideal tool for the study of transfer reactions. It is a first step toward the development of the new generation of silicon...
