Resolution of discrete final states in the $^{16}$O(e,e$'$pp)$^{14}$C reaction may provide an interesting tool to discriminate between contributions from one- and two-body currents in this reaction. This is based on the observation that the…
Using a shell model which is capable of describing the spectra of upper $g_{9/2}$-shell nuclei close to the $N=Z$ line, we study the structure of two isomeric states $7^{+}$ and $21^{+}$ in the odd-odd $N=Z$ nucleus $^{94}$Ag. It is found…
New magic numbers have been discovered in the neutron-rich region of the nuclear chart. However, there has been a lack of research on proton-rich nuclei. $^{22}$O, the mirror nucleus of $^{22}$Si, is a double-magic nucleus bearing a high…
It is now known that in neutron rich nuclei, old magic numbers disappear and new ones appear. Single nucleon and double nucleon separation energies are plotted here in all possible manner.Using this data it is shown here for the first time…
The structure of exotic nuclei provides valuable tests for state-of-the-art nuclear theory. In particular electromagnetic transition rates are more sensitive to aspects of nuclear forces and many-body physics than excitation energies alone.…
The excitation energy of deformed intruder states (specifically the 2p2h bandhead) as a function of proton number $Z$ along $N=20$ is of interest both in terms of better understanding the evolution of nuclear structure between spherical…
The technique of invariant mass spectroscopy has been used to measure, for the first time, the ground state energy of neutron-unbound $^{28}\textrm{F},$ determined to be a resonance in the $^{27}\textrm{F} + n$ continuum at $2\underline{2}0…
We report on the observation of a previously unknown resonance at E=194.1+/-0.6 keV (lab) in the 17-O(p,alpha)14-N reaction, with a measured resonance strength omega_gamma(p,alpha)=1.6+/-0.2 meV. We studied in the same experiment the…

The two-proton knockout reaction 9Be(26Ne,O2p) was used to explore excited unbound states of 23O and 24O. In 23O a state at an excitation energy of 2.79(13) MeV was observed. There was no conclusive evidence for the population of excited…
High spin states in the odd-odd N=Z nucleus 46V have been identified. At low spin, the T=1 isobaric analogue states of 46Ti are established up to I = 6+. Other high spin states, including the band terminating state, are tentatively assigned…
