Higher order collective degrees of freedom are well-established in the composition of excited quantum states of the atomic nucleus. Octupole collectivity, associated with pear-shaped nuclei, has been the subject of intense theoretical and experimental study. Regions of octupole deformation are found above all the major shell gaps --- the so-called octupole magic numbers --- $Z,N = 34, 56, 88,...

Multinucleon transfer reactions are known to provide a useful method of populating neutron-rich nuclei in gamma-ray spectroscopy experiments. Recent theoretical calculations have suggested that such reactions could also be used to produce neutron-deficient nuclei, but this has not been properly... -

Far from the valley of stability, proton-neutron correlations may lead to a lowering of intruder states and, concurrently, to the onset of deformed configurations at low excitation energies, outlining the so-called Islands of Inversion. Among them, the Island of Inversion located at the N = 20 shell gap has recently become the subject of many theoretical and experimental works. The former,...

We propose a new experiment at LNL using the AGATA+PRISMA setup to investigate the structure of neutron-rich magnesium isotopes near the N=20 Island of Inversion. Using a $^{30}\mathrm{Si}$ beam on a $^{238}\mathrm{U}$ target, we aim to populate $^{30}\mathrm{Mg}$ and neighboring nuclei via multinucleon transfer reactions and measure level lifetimes using the Doppler Shift Attenuation Method...
