The availability of a wide variety of intense beams of exotic nuclei from the next generation of radioactive ion beam facilities such as the Isotope Separator and Accelerator (ISAC) facility at TRIUMF provides an unprecedented opportunity to address key questions of current interest in nuclear astrophysics, nuclear structure physics, fundamental symmetries and molecular and material science. ...

A radioactive beam of 140Nd was impinging on a 1.40 mg/cm2 48Ti as well as a 1.55 mg/cm2 64Zn target. Gamma rays were detected by the MINIBALL array and a DSSD was used for particle identification. The transition strength of the first 2+ to the 0+ ground state in unstable, neutron-deficient 140Nd was measured to be 30(5) W.u. (preliminary). The beam was contaminated by 140Sm, this allows to...

We report on the first hyperfine-structure study of cadmium by high-resolution laser spectroscopy. The goal is to determine nuclear spins, electromagnetic moments and root mean square (rms) charge radii of ground and isomeric states along the chain, ultimately reaching the neutron 50 and 82 shell closures.
In the first part of the program we studied the intense beams of 106-124,126Cd by...

128Cd is only two proton and two neutron holes away from the doubly magic nucleus 132Sn. The proximity to this r-process waiting-point nucleus underlines its importance for the understanding of nucleosynthesis. So far, contradicting theoretical predictions for the B(E2,0+->2+) value of 128Cd exist. While shell model calculations conclude an almost spherical shape of 128Cd, beyond mean field...
