The 110Pd double-beta decay Q-value was measured with the Penning-trap mass spectrometer ISOLTRAP to be Q = 2017.85(64) keV. This value shifted by 14 keV compared to the literature value and is 17 times more precise, resulting in new…

The lifetimes of the low-lying excited states $2^+$ and $4^+$ have been directly measured in the neutron-deficient $^{106,108}$Sn isotopes. The nuclei were populated via a deep-inelastic reaction and the lifetime measurement was performed…

The results by A.S. Barabash [Phys. Rev. {\bf C 81}, 035501 (2010)] are shown to be incomplete. Tellurium data sets were reanalyzed using the best practices of ENSDF evaluations. Present analysis indicates much higher value for the…

The lifetimes of B+ and B0 mesons are measured using a sample of 150,000 hadronic Z0 decays collected by the SLD experiment at the SLC between 1993 and 1995. The analysis identifies the semileptonic decays of B mesons and reconstructs the B…

The pairing properties of the neutrinoless double beta decay $(0\nu2\beta)$ candidate $^{100}$Mo have been studied, along with its daughter $^{100}$Ru, to provide input for nuclear matrix element calculations relevant to the decay. The…

As a result of the helicity suppression effect, within the Standard Model the rare decay channel $B_s \to e^+ e^-$ has a decay probability which is five orders of magnitude below current experimental limits. Thus, any observation of this…

The two-neutrino double beta decay matrix elements and half-lives of $^{48}$Ca, are calculated within a shell-model approach for transitions to the ground state and to the $2^+$ first excited state of $^{48}$Ti. We use the full $pf$ model…

E2 properties of A=6--10 nuclei, including those of nuclei far from stability, are studied by a $(0+2)\hbar\omega$ shell-model calculation which includes E2 core-polarization effects explicitly. The quadrupole moments and the E2 transition…

Excited states in $^{212}$Po were populated by $\alpha$ transfer using the $^{208}$Pb($^{18}$O, $^{14}$C) reaction and their deexcitation $\gamma$-rays were studied with the Euroball array. Several levels were found to decay by a unique E1…

The B0 lifetime has been measured with a sample of 23 million BBbar pairs collected by the BaBar detector at the PEP-II e+e- storage ring during 1999 and 2000. Events from the semileptonic decay B0 --> D*- l+ nu have been selected with a…

Recently, $B(E2, 0^+_1 \to 2^+_1)$ transition strength have been measured in $^{36}$Ca and $^{38}$Ca. Surprisingly, the measured value in $^{36}$Ca: $B(E2\ \uparrow) = 131(20)$ e$^2$fm$^4$, is significantly larger than in $^{38}$Ca, where…

In the present work, we study nuclear structure properties of the $^{184-194}$Pb isotopes within the framework of the nuclear shell-model. We have performed shell-model calculations using KHH7B and KHHE interactions. We have reported…

Data collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B Factory at SLAC are used to study the lifetimes of the B^0 and B^+ mesons. The data sample consists of 7.4 fb-1 collected near the Y(4S) resonance. B^0 and B^+ mesons are…

The method of intermediate-energy Coulomb excitation has been widely used to determine absolute B(E2; 0+ -> 2+) quadrupole excitation strengths in exotic nuclei with even numbers of protons and neutrons. Transition rates measured with…
