The shape of atomic nuclei can vary vastly, several shapes can even coexist within the same nucleus in certain regions of the nuclear chart. Shape coexistence is believed to be present at higher excitation energies in the N=78 isotones 140Sm and 142Gd [1], where the nucleus of interest is 140Sm in this case. 140Sm has previously been studied in a coulomb excitation experiment performed by M....
The presentation will outline the variety of scientific goals that drive the need for a new experimental hall and higher RIB beam intensities at ISOLDE, CERN. The proposed developments will lead to an increased capacity and capability for producing more intense, higher-quality, radioactive ion beams for precision studies on very exotic isotopes from He (Z=2) up to Ac (Z=89), using low-energy...
The IS554 experiment involved the measurement of the $^7$Be(d,p)$^8$Be* reaction at 5 MeV/A. The scattering chamber at the third beamline of HIE-ISOLDE was used, with an array of double-sided silicon strip detectors (DSSD) covering an angular range of 8$^o$- 165$^o$. The $^7$Be beam was incident on a CD$_2$ target of thickness 15 $\mu$m and the average beam intensity was $\sim$ 5 x 10$^5$ pps....
The study of single-particle states can provide insight into properties of nuclear structure. In light neutron-rich systems, features of single-particle states along isotonic chains have highlighted changes in shell closures, such as the weakening of $N=20$ and formation of $N=16$ [1, 2]. In heavier closed-shell stable nuclei, trends have been seen in the behaviour of high-j states from the...
