The neutron-rich cadmium nuclei with a proton number of Z=48 are some of the most interesting isotopes in nuclear structure physics due to the proximity to the proton and neutron shell closures at Z=50 and N=82 respectively. The excitation energy of the 2_1⁺-states shows an irregular behaviour when approaching the neutron shell closure. From 124Cd to 126Cd the energy is only slightly...

The open-shell nuclei with Z>50 and N<82 are known to have some of the largest ground- state deformations in the nuclear chart. The shape of the nuclei in this region are expected to be prolate, except for a small island of nuclei with Z>62 and N≈78, which are predicted to be oblate. Nuclei near 140Sm are therefore expected to be located in a transitional region between deformed and spherical...

Coulomb excitation experiments in inverse kinematics using heavy postaccelerated radioactive ion beams often result in multiple step Coulomb excitation whereby several low-lying excited states are populated. At REX-ISOLDE, the Miniball gamma spectrometer is used for the detection of gamma rays originating from electromagnetic transitions in the investigated nuclei [1]. The nuclear levels...

The region of proton rich nuclei close to Z=82 is well known for shape coexistence with competition between different spherical, oblate and prolate minima. Data on the light radon nuclei e.g. 198-206Rn is rather limited and largely restricted to information on near-yrast states as inferred from in-beam studies. These studies seem to indicate a change from a largely vibrational behaviour around...
