Coexistence phenomena in proton-rich medium mass nuclei bring insights into fundamental symmetries and interactions. The exotic behavior of these nuclei manifested by drastic changes in structure with excitation energy, occurrence of isomeric states, and their complex decay are strongly influenced by shape coexistence and mixing.
Neutron-rich A≃100 nuclei display a large variety of shape...
In the regions of doubly-magic nuclei certain states (e.g. isomers) have rather pure single-particle or two-particle(hole) configurations and provide unique opportunity to study different observables. On the other hand particle-hole excitations or configuration mixing can modify the values expected from simple models. Therefore, the study of nuclear electromagnetic moments is of particular...

The spectroscopy of the neutron rich N=41-49 Zn isotopes was performed using AGATA coupled to VAMOS++ at GANIL. The isotopes were produced using the 238U(@6.2 MeV/u) + 9Be fusion-fission reaction. The gamma rays were detected in AGATA and the light fission fragments were selected in VAMOS++. As Zn is the lower Z chemical element for which...
Alpha-transfer reactions have emerged as a powerful tool for studying excited states in radioactive nuclei, particularly for investigating nuclear species near the stability line that are challenging to produce with sufficient intensity at current radioactive beam facilities. This experimental approach has proven invaluable for characterizing nuclear electric and magnetic moments, validating...
