Key in the establishment of the traditional concepts of nuclear shells, binding-energy studies were also pivotal to the early realization of the demise of the traditional shell closures away from stability [1]. Extensive effort has followed to examine the classical signatures for magicity in exotic nuclei and more than three decades later, the robustness of all major shell closures has been...
I will discuss which kind of new phenomena can be probed through precision measurements in nuclear processes. Using a model-independent description I will discuss the interplay between the different experiments and which ones are the most sensitive and promising. Finally I will analyze the synergy with searches at high-energy colliders, such as the LHC, and with other electroweak precision observables.
Extracting the shape of a nucleus in its ground state when its spin is less than 1 is not possible by a direct measurement of the quadrupole moment. This limits the sources of information available for the study of the ground state shapes of even-even nuclei. Common alternatives are the extraction of the information from electromagnetic transitions along the ground state band or measurements...
A dedicated and world-wide unique program to study $\beta$-delayed fission ($\beta$DF) is being performed by our collaboration since a decade ago at the ISOLDE (CERN), e.g. [1,2,3]. In $\beta$DF, the mother nucleus undergoes $\beta$ decay to excited state in the daughter nucleus with the energy comparable to the fission barrier height and the daughter nucleus then fissions. The excitation...
