Anomalous behaviour of matter radii of proton-rich Ga, Ge, As, Se and Br nuclei
Proton-rich isotopes of Ga, Ge, As, Se and Br had their total reaction cross-sections (σR) measured. Root-mean-squared matter radii were determined from Glauber model calculations, which reproduced the experiment...

Transition strength of neutron unbound states in 11Be
The transition strength of the first excited state in the neutron halo nucleus, 11Be, is known to be the strongest among the light nuclei [1]. In order to measure the transition strength of the particle unbound s...

Direct mass measurements of Ge, As, Se and Br isotopes close to the proton drip line
The masses of neutron-deficient nuclei close to the proton-drip line are an important input for the rapid proton capture (rp)-process modeling above 56Ni. The direct measurement of the masses of neutron-deficient...

Inelastic proton scattering on Neutron-Rich sulphur isotopes
The proton scattering on unstable38S nuclei has been measured in inverse kinematics by using a38S secondary beam at 39 MeV/nucleon. The first 2+ state is seen at 1.2 MeV excitation energy and its angular distribu...
