We propose to perform Coulomb excitation using a $^{58}$Ni beam on a $^{124}$Te target using the combination of the AGATA and SPIDER detector arrays. Sufficient yields of $\gamma$ rays will be obtained that will enable us to meet the following goals:
- Determine the spectroscopic quadrupole moments of the 2$^+_1$, 2$^+_2$, and 4$^+_1$ states;
- Determine the matrix elements for the 4$^+_2...
The observation in the Lanthanides of low-lying states in nuclei with even Z, N having total angular momentum and parity I$^{\pi}$=3$^-$ is indicative of their undergoing octupole vibrations about a reflection-symmetric shape. Further evidence is provided by the sizeable value of the electric octupole (E3) moment for the transition to the ground state, indicating collective behaviour of the...

ABSTRACT:
In the proposed experiment, we plan to investigate the properties of nuclei close to the doubly-magic $^{56}$Ni isotope (N = Z = 28) using the Coulomb-excitation method.
Specifically, we propose to study the electromagnetic structure of $^{62}$Ni with the AGATA spectrometer coupled to the SPIDER (+DANTE) heavy-ion detector.
The results of the proposed experiment, along...
The regions of the nuclear chart displaying a rapid change of the collectivity with respect to the proton or neutron number, are of a particular interest for testing nuclear models [1]. Such kind of behaviour has been noticed along the iron isotopic chain as moving from the stable towards the N=50 shell closure. Theoretical calculations performed with the LNPS interaction which was developed...
