The Rare-RI Ring, located at the RI Beam Factory within RIKEN, represents a breakthrough in the field of Isochronous Mass Spectrometry. Specifically designed to cater to the high-precision mass measurement needs of rare isotopes characterized by low production yields and exceedingly short half-lives, the Rare-RI Ring distinguishes itself as a cyclotron-like storage ring. Its unique capability...
The region of refractory metals, below the magic number Z=50 is of particular interest for nuclear physics studies and exhibits phenomena such as deformations, shape coexistence, and hints of triaxial nuclei. Laser spectroscopy has provided valuable and complementary input, providing information about the shape, size, and electromagnetic moments of radioactive isotopes and isomers in this...
The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) in the United States, with its superconducting radio frequency linac slated to deliver 400 kW of beam power at up to 200 MeV/u [1], is beginning — already at 1-5 kW of beam power — to open new avenues of in-flight beam production and, hence, of new experimental insights across the chart of nuclides [2].
The FRIB experiment E21010, carried out in...
The Superconducting Linear Accelerator (SPIRAL2-LINAC) facility of GANIL is designed to deliver heavy-ion beams with highest intensities ever achieved [1,2]. The Super Separator Spectrometer (S$^3$), a high-resolution recoil separator coupled to the LINAC, will use these high-intensity beams to produce neutron-deficient nuclei close to the proton dripline and super heavy nuclei via...
A high-statistics Coulomb-excitation (CE) study of $^{12}$C onto an enriched $^{208}$Pb target has been carried out at safe energies using the high-resolution {\sc Q3D} magnetic spectrometer at the Maier-Leibnitz Laboratory (MLL) in Munich (Germany). Measurements at different scattering angles and beam currents of approximately 10$^{11}$ pps allowed the determination of the spectroscopic...
Octupole correlations near $N = Z = 56$ are unique in sense that they occur between particles in the same orbitals for both neutrons and protons. In this region just above $^{100}$Sn, it is expected that enhanced octupole correlations will take place at low and medium spins in the light Te ($Z = 52$), I ($Z = 53$) and Xe ($Z = 54$) nuclei [1]. In this region of the nuclear chart, the Fermi...
