Zakopane 2026 Conference on Nuclear Physics

Among challenging problems in physics is the understanding of emergent collective excitation modes in interacting quantum many-body systems in terms of the microscopic degrees of freedom. The study of evolution of properties of nuclei, as function of excitation energy, angular momentum and isospin, open avenues to search for simple patterns to identify and better understand hidden aspects of...

Gamma-ray spectroscopy is a powerful tool to measure electromagnetic observables offering a glimpse into the structure of neutron-rich nuclei. The advent of $\gamma$-ray tracking arrays like AGATA has indeed opened new possibilities in this field, in particular when AGATA is coupled to setups providing a high sensitivity for weak reaction channel selection.
Since 2022, the second AGATA...

The region around the doubly magic nucleus 100Sn provides a unique testing ground for nuclear structure models at the proton drip line and near the (N=Z) line. Recent experiments performed at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF), Japan, using the DALI2+ gamma-ray spectrometer have enabled new spectroscopic studies in this key region.

In this contribution, I will report on the first...

The yrast negative-parity states of the T$=1/2$ mirror pairs $^{35}$Cl–$^{35}$Ar and $^{39}$K–$^{39}$Ca display Mirror Energy Differences (MEDs) exceeding 200 keV at high spin ($J$ ≥ 11/2⁻) [1,2]. This is in contrast to the <100 keV deviations characteristic of positive-parity states in this mass region. Existing shell-model decompositions attribute the high-$J$ enhancement to the...
