Abstract

Recent developments in experimental techniques have enabled the study of nuclei far from the line of stability in both the proton- and the neutron-rich sides. This work is divided in two parts. In the first part we report the identification of γ-rays in the near proton-drip line nuclei 130Pm and 132Pm. In the second part, preliminary results of a systematic measurement of B(E2; 0+ → 2+) using novel Coulomb-Excitation techniques are presented for even-even isotopes of Ge and Se. The difficulties and challenges that represent the determination of the B(E2) values for the exotic neutron-rich nuclei 78Ge and 80Ge are discussed. The measurement of these radioactive isotopes was possible thanks to the recent availability of radioactive ion beams at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility. A comparison between the measured B(E2) values and theoretical predictions obtained with the IBA2 model is also presented.
