TL;DR: In this article, the lifetime of low-lying levels in 90, 92, 94, 96, and 96Sr were measured using a recently developed βγγ fast timing method, which provided evidence for a strong Z = 38 subshell effect extending from N = 50 to N = 58.

TL;DR: In this article, a method to extract empirical proton-neutron interaction energies for individual protons and neutrons as well as integrated valence p-n interaction strenghts is discussed.

TL;DR: It is shown that the anomalously large double binding energy differences for even-even {ital N}={ital Z} nuclei are a consequence of Wigner`s SU(4) symmetry.

TL;DR: In this article, the p-n interaction strength was analyzed in terms of both schematic and realistic shell model calculations, and the observed micro-structure of the pn interaction in doubly magic and deformed regions sheds light on both the orbit sensitivity and on the role of monopole and quadrupole components of the interaction.

TL;DR: In this article, the decay of the Pd in the E(5) critical point symmetry state was studied with high efficiency Ge detectors, and the level scheme of Pd$ was shown to be in good overall agreement with the predictions of the E (5)-critical point symmetry, with the exception of the state of intruder character.
