The low energy structure of 66Fe was studied by means of γ- and fast-timing spectroscopy at the ISOLDE/CERN facility. The level scheme of 66Fe populated following the ${\beta }^{-}$ decay of 66Mn was established. It confirms and further expands the level scheme from recent publications. The β-delayed neutron emission branch was measured and γ rays in 65Fe were observed following the β–n decay for the first time. The half lives of the ...

Neutron-deficient isotopes of Pt–Hg–Pb–Po–Rn are the classic region in theinvestigation of shape coexistence in atomic nuclei. A large programme ofCoulomb-excitation experiments has been undertaken at the REX-ISOLDEfacility in CERN with a number of even–even isotopes in this region. Theseexperiments have been used to probe the electromagnetic properties of yrastand non-yrast states of even–even exotic nuclei, above and belowZ=82.Amongst a large ...

Five major hyperfine interaction techniques, detected by nuclear radiation, originated in the short time span between 1950 and 1965. The coincidence with the demographic expansion, especially in Europe, of university education led to the creation of many new research laboratories applying these promising techniques in solid state physics, chemistry and biology. Since the turn of century many of the early pioneers are going into retirement, ...
