The MINIBALL spectrometer has been reinstalled for the HIE-ISOLDE experiments. MINIBALL will benefit from the energy upgrade enabling multistep Coulomb excitation experiments and few-nucleon transfer reactions studies of heavy nuclei. The first experiment was dedicated a study of the evolution of the nuclear structure along the zinc isotopic chain
close to the doubly magic nucleus $^{78}$Ni....

The advent of HIE-ISOLDE with high-intensity radioactive beams at energies of ~10 MeV per nucleon and the transfer of the Test Storage Ring (TSR) from Heidelberg to ISOLDE will open up new opportunities for precision studies of exotic nuclei [1]. New spectrometer systems are being designed and developed to exploit these capabilities, including a silicon detector system to be used in-ring with...

The N=60 region, for the Sr and Zr isotopic chains, is an interesting example of shape evolution.
On the neutron-rich side of these isotopic chains, N=56 is observed to become an effective sub-shell
closure with $^{96}$Zr (and $^{98}$Sr) exhibiting the properties of a doubly-magic nucleus. However, with
the addition of only four neutrons, $^{100}$Zr is observed to become strongly deformed....

The two-fluid nature of nuclear matter leads to the existence of special excited states which are symmetric or partially anti-symmetric with respect to the relative contributions of the two components of the system, protons and neutrons. These latter states are called proton-neutron mixed-symmetry states (MSSs) [1,2]. The fundamental MSS of weakly collective vibrational nuclei is the...
