It is well known that N=20 shell gap disappears in the "island of inversion" and thus strong deformation appears.
The one-neutron halo nucleus 31Ne, located in the island of inversion, has attracted much attention because it is the first example of a deformation-driven halo nucleus.
Recent experimental studies on 31Ne revealed that it has low separation energy Sn=0.15(+0.16)(-0.10)MeV, and...
The study of nuclei far from stability is one of the most active and challenging areas of nuclear structure physics. One of the most exotic neutron-rich nuclei currently accessible to experiment is 40Mg [1], which lies at the intersection of the nucleon magic number N=28 and the dripline, and is expected to have a large prolate deformation similar to that observed in the neighboring lighter...
South of 48Ca in the nuclear chart, the erosion of the neutron magic number 28 and the onset of collective behavior have been observed.
Especially the ground-state deformation, the shape coexistence, and the high-K isomerism in 44S have been discussed both experimentally and theoretically.
In this region these phenomena related to the deformation of the nucleus are thought to originate from...
There is a renewed interest in single and double charge-exchange reactions due to its connection with the Fermi and Gamow-Teller transitions and double beta decay. It has given origin to different campaigns mainly at RCNP and RIKEN in Japan and at the LNS-INFN Catania in Italy. This last one is focused on the connection of double charge-exchange and the neutrinoless double-beta decay which...
