We have carried out measurements, using Miniball, of the $\gamma$-ray de-excitation of $^{222,228}$Ra and $^{222,224,226}$Rn nuclei Coulomb-excited by bombarding $^{60}$Ni and $^{120}$Sn targets. The beams of radioactive ions, having energies of between 4.25 and 5.08 MeV.A, were provided by HIE-ISOLDE at CERN. The purpose of these measurements is to determine the intrinsic quadrupole and...
Transfer reactions produce a wealth of nuclei in a wide energy and angular range and with cross sections spanning several orders of magnitude. Total angle and energy integrated cross sections for transfer channels have been investigated with spectrometers in various systems close to the Coulomb barrier. Such ingredients allow one to understand how nucleons are exchanged between projectile and...
The lifetimes of the waiting point nuclei at N = 126 of the rapid neutron capture process (r-process) are important parameters to investigate the astrophysical environment of the r-process. However, the difficulty in the production of those extremely neutron-rich nuclei makes their experimental studies unfeasible. Therefore, the theoretical nuclear models play crucial roles in the simulation...
