TL;DR: The role of neutron-proton pairing correlations on the structure of nuclei along the N = Z line is reviewed in this article, where the competition between isovector (T = 1 ) and isoscalar ( T = 0 ) pair fields is evaluated by different theoretical frameworks including schematic models, realistic Shell Model and mean field approaches.

TL;DR: Nine superdeformed bands in several nuclei of the mass-190 region all have transitions of the same or equivalent energies to within an average of about 1 keV--almost identical.

TL;DR: Chiral doublet bands based on the pi g(9/2) multiply sign in circle nu h(11/2] configuration that achieve degeneracy at spin I=17 in the odd-odd triaxial 104Rh nucleus have been observed.

TL;DR: A superdeformed rotational band has been identified in 36Ar, linked to known low-spin states, and observed to its high-spin termination at Ipi = 16(+), and provides an ideal case to study the microscopic structure of collective rotational motion.

TL;DR: The "island of inversion" nucleus 32 Mg has been studied by a (t, p) two neutron transfer reaction in inverse kinematics at REX-ISOLDE and the characteristic angular distribution of the protons of the Δ L=0 transfer has been identified.
