The presence of large shell gaps at N=Z=34 and 36 at both oblate and prolate shape has long been predicted to
lead to a coexistence of shapes in this region. Recent results are beginning to challenge whether such oblate
shapes can indeed be located. We present two complementary approaches to investigating such shape
coexistence. The first is the reorientation effect in low energy Coulomb...

The replacement of the N=20 spherical shell gap in nuclei of the island of
inversion by the N=14,16 gaps can be explained by the tensor monopole
interaction between the proton and neutron Fermi levels. The next step in
understanding the evolution of shell structure is to measure the strengh of this
interaction, which is present
throughout the nuclear chart. The ideal tool for this are...

Results from a recent ISOLDE experiment, where the half-life of Ca38 and the
beta-decay Q value were measured, will be presented and put into the contexte of
world-wide efforts in this field. Possible new measurements at ISOLDE will be proposed.
