The presence of not yet detected intruder states in $^{8}Be$ e.g. a $J=2^{+}$ intruder at 9 $MeV$ excitation would affect the shape of the $\beta ^{\mp }$-delayed alpha spectra of $^{8}Li$ and $^{8}B$. In order to test the plausibility of…
Excitation functions of elastic and inelastic 7Be+p scattering were measured in the energy range between 1.6 and 2.8 MeV in the c.m. An R-matrix analysis of the excitation functions provides strong evidence for new positive parity states in…
The neturon rich nucleus 13B was studied via the proton transfer reaction 4He(12Be,13B \gamma) at 50AMeV. The known 4.83-MeV excited state was strongly populated and its spin and parity were assigned to 1/2+ by comparing the angular…
We investigate the low-lying excitations of a weakly-interacting, harmonically-trapped Bose-Einstein condensed gas under rotation, in the limit where the angular mometum $L$ of the system is much less than the number of the atoms $N$ in the…
Low-energy dipole excitations in ${}^{10}$Be were investigated based on the generator coordinate method with $\alpha + {}^6$He and $\alpha + \alpha + 2n$ cluster models. We obtained three $1^-$ states in $E_{x} < 15$~MeV, which show…

The low-lying spectra of $^8$He and $^{10}$He nuclei were studied in the $^3$H($^6$He,$p$)$^8$He and $^3$H($^8$He,$p$)$^{10}$He transfer reactions. The $0^+$ ground state (g.s.) of $^8$He and excited states, $2^+$ at $3.6-3.9$ MeV and…
Current work includes a study of the very rare case called intruder nuclear levels, where there are only seven nuclei in nature. Such cases occur when the first excited state is . The current study included only three nuclei: . The nuclear…
The low lying states in $^8$Be are believed to have a two-alpha cluster structure and hence a large intrinsic quadrupole deformation. An earlier calculation showed a large collective enhancement in gamma transition probability between the…

High precision (p,t) studies of the deformed nucleus 158Gd allowed the observation of 13 excited 0+ states below an excitation energy of 3.1 MeV. This high density of low energy states, and particularly their measured B(E2) transition…
A discussion on the nature of the 0+ states in 68Ni (Z=28, N=40) is presented and a comparison is made with its valence counterpart 90Zr (Z=40, N=50). Evidence is given for a 0+ proton intruder state at only ~2.2 MeV excitation energy in…
