The evolution of nuclear binding energies with proton and neutron number is one of the key experimental inputs for the study of nuclear structure. It contributed significantly to the consolidation of the traditional concepts of nuclear shells and nuclear deformation, still largely present in phenomenological theoretical approaches. We will present recent ISOLTRAP measurements of binding...

An outreach programme has been developed at The University of Manchester to introduce Year 10/11 students (14-16 year old) to nuclear physics research and, hopefully, excite them about the cool things that can be achieved with a Physics degree. This project was initiated in conjunction with ISOLDE 50th anniversary, which was celebrated last year, and towards the 50th anniversary of ISOLDE’s...

Laser spectroscopy measurements were performed on bunched beams of Zn ($Z$ = $30$) isotopes at ISOLDE-CERN using the ion cooler-buncher ISCOOL and the high-resolution collinear laser spectroscopy setup COLLAPS. The experimental measurements allowed to deduce the nuclear spins, magnetic moments and quadruple moments of odd-Zn isotopes and isomers up to $^{79}$Zn, as well as the mean square...

The Collinear Resonance Ionization Spectroscopy (CRIS) experiment combines laser spectroscopy and nuclear-decay spectroscopy to provide nuclear-structure measurements of exotic isotopes. At CRIS, the high resolution innate to collinear laser spectroscopy is combined with the high efficiency of ion detection to provide a sensitive technique to probe an isotope’s hyperfine structure. In addition...

The region south of $^{68}_{28}$Ni$_{40}$ has attracted much interest due to the sudden onset of deformation observed near $N = 40 $. For a better understanding of the dynamics responsible for this change in nuclear structure, it is desirable to expand the experimental knowledge on how the interplay between single-particle and collective nature evolves as a function of proton and/or neutron...

Negatively charged ions are mainly stabilized through the electron correlation effect. A measure for their stability is the binding energy which is termed electron affinity (EA). The energy required to form a positively charged ion by releasing an electron from the neutral atom is referred to as ionization potential (IP). These two energies are fundamental characteristics, defining the...
