Results of experiments on the synthesis of superheavy nuclei in 48Ca-induced reactions are presented. The experiments were carried out at the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions (FLNR) of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Dubna) in the framework of a large collaboration with IAR (Dimitrovgrad, Russia), LLNL (Livermore, USA), ORNL (Oak-Ridge, USA). In fusion reactions of doubly...

High-precision mass measurements are powerful method to investigate the nuclear structure evolution in exotic nuclides. Binding energies and their differences reveal nuclear structure features such as shell closures and the onset of deformation. Recent advances in slowing down high-energy beams in buffer gas cells have opened the door to extend precision measurements in ion traps to...

The knowledge of ground-state properties around the neutron shell closure N=126 are of great importance in order to understand the nuclear structure of heavy nuclei. They give the opportunity for testing nuclear models in the region where single particle character appears to be the key factor describing, for instance, the nuclear configuration in francium and bismuth isotopes. In order to...

The properties of nuclides in or close to the valley of stability are mostly well understood and described by nuclear structure models. However the theoretical predictions for properties of nuclides far away from stability differ drastically for different models. For further improvements of the models highly accurate measurements of a variety of observables of unstable nuclides are needed as...
