The discovery of a new zoo of hadronic resonances in the heavy and light meson sector in the past decade created new momentum of interest in the field of hadron and in particular meson spectroscopy. Many of the so-called XYZ states are not well understood, the same holds for some of the newly found open charm resonances. The large number of new states on the one hand offers the opportunity to...

The past few years, a new level of sensitivity for the structure of neutron-rich nuclei via in-beam gamma spectroscopy has been reached. New generation high resolution photon arrays have become available and used at Radioactive Isotope facilities. The Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory of RIKEN, today's leading machine to produce radioactive ions at intermediate energies, succeeds in producing...

Superheavy elements provide unique opportunities to study nuclear structure and the influence of relativistic effects on the electron shell. So far, the elements up to proton number 118 have been discovered and their nuclear decay properties have been investigated. Recently, improved and new experimental techniques provided excess to the atomic, nuclear and chemical properties of the heaviest...
