Relativistic Coulomb excitation in inverse kinematics can be utilized to study the electric dipole response of projectile neutron-rich nuclei. In such conditions, collective excitations arise where neutron and proton densities of the excited nucleus are displaced with respect to each other. Additionally, access to greater isospin asymmetries on the neutron-rich side of the nuclide chart...

The Sn isotopes, containing the longest chain of isotopes between two doubly-magic nuclei, offer a fundamental testing ground for nuclear theories. Between the $N = 50$ and $N = 82$ shell closures, the $2^{+}_{1}$ energies of all Sn isotopes are well established and show an almost constant value, as expected in the generalized seniority scheme. Within the same framework, the $B(E2)$ values...

An anomaly in the energy differences of mirror nuclei and isobaric analogue states (IAS), not yet well understood from a microscopic point of view, was found more than 50 years ago and is called the Okamoto-Nolen-Schiffer (ONS) anomaly. A systematic study from light to heavy nuclei within the framework of the independent-particle model found that the theoretical values of the energy...
