Heavy and superheavy nuclei
Oral
The neutron-deficient polonium isotopes with two protons outside the closed Z = 82 shell represent an interesting region of the nuclear chart to study shape coexistence in nuclei. 200Po manifests itself as a transitional nucleus between a general-seniority-type regime in the heaviest polonium isotopes and a shape-coexistence character in the lightest polonium isotopes [1,2]. However, questions...

Nuclear structure far from stability
Oral
There is an increasing interest in studying the evolution of the collectivity of neutron-rich nuclei beyond N=50. Germanium isotopes are well known to undergo collective effects such as vibrations or gamma softness. It is particularly interesting to study 84Ge as it is the first even-even nucleus beyond N=50. The nature of the collectivity can be probed by measuring the excitation energies of...

Nuclear structure far from stability
Oral
The reduced transition probability B(E2) of the 0+ → 2+ transition in 28S was determined experimentally using the Coulomb excitation at 53 MeV/nucleon. The experiment was performed using the RI Beam Factory at RIKEN Nishina Center. The resultant B(E2) value is smaller than the expectation based on an empirical B(E2) systematics. The relative importance of the proton- and neutron-...

On behalf of the MINIBALL and IS430 collaborations.
A transfer reaction experiment was performed at ISOLDE in 2010 using a 11Be beam incident on both deuterons and protons. Both one neutron transfer and scattering reactions were detected enabling study of bound states and low lying resonances in 10Be, 11Be and 12Be. The MINIBALL Ge cluster along with the T-REX Si setup were used for...

Nuclear structure far from stability
Oral
Nuclear forces play a decisive role to account for the creation and modifications of shell gaps, to explain deformed nuclei, to permit the development of halo structures and to fix the limits of particle stability. The determination of nuclear forces inside the nucleus from bare forces is a tedious but important task. The neutron-rich 26F is a benchmark nucleus for studying proton-neutron...
