Unbound neutron $\nu0d_{3/2}$ strength in $^{17}$C and the N=16 shell gap Open
Significant continuum strength has been observed to be populated in $^{17}$C produced in the d($^{16}$C,p) reaction at a beam energy of 17.2~MeV/nucleon. The strength appears at greater than $\sim$2~MeV above the single-neutron decay thres…

Long-sought isomer turns out to be the ground state of $^{76}$Cu Open
Isomers close to the doubly magic nucleus $^{78}$Ni ($Z=28$, $N=50$) provide essential information on the shell evolution and shape coexistence far from stability. The existence of a long-lived isomeric state in $^{76}$Cu has been debated …

Cross-shell states in 15C: A test for p-sd interactions Open
The low-lying structure of $^{15}$C has been investigated via the neutron-removal $^{16}$C$(d,t)$ reaction. Along with bound neutron sd-shell hole states, unbound p-shell hole states have been firmly confirmed. The excitation energies and …

Low-lying structure of <sup>15</sup>C: Information on the N=8 shell gap Open
The low-lying structure of 15 C has been investigated via the neutron-removal d( 16 C, t) reaction. The experiment was performed at GANIL using a secondary 16 C beam produced by fragmentation in the LISE spectrometer at 17.2 MeV/nucleon wi…

Investigation of a light Dark Boson existence: The New JEDI project Open
Several experiments around the world are looking for a new particle, named Dark Boson, which may do the link between the Ordinary Matter (which forms basically stars, planets, interstellar gas...) and the Hidden Sectors of the Universe. Th…

Mass measurements towards doubly magic 78Ni: Hydrodynamics versus nuclear mass contribution in core-collapse supernovae Open
We report the first high-precision mass measurements of the neutron-rich nuclei Ni-74,Ni-75 and the clearly identified ground state of Cu-76, along with a more precise mass-excess value of Cu-78, performed with the double Penning trap JYFL…

Proton partial widths evaluation through the <sup>30</sup>Si(<sup>3</sup>He,<i>d</i>)<sup>31</sup>P transfer reaction for understanding abundance anomalies in Globular Clusters Open
Some observed abundances in globular clusters have suggested the existence of multiple generations of stars within the clusters as the observations require temperature ranges higher than current stars. The 30 Si( p ,γ) 31 P reaction plays …

How sharp is the transition into the N=20 island of inversion for the Mg isotopes ? Open
The N=20 island of inversion is an excellent playground for testing shell model calculations. The Mg chain is a region of shell evolution still far from being well understood. In this paper we present preliminary results of a single-neutro…
