All even-even nuclei possess excited 0+ states. Often, they are poorly characterized because they can be difficult to populate. However, the identification of 0+ states and the characterization of their properties is critical to the elucidation of the structure of all even-even nuclei. Examples at both closed and open shells will be selected to illustrate this aspect of nuclear structure...

The new PreSPEC-AGATA project is aimed at nuclear structure and reaction studies using radioactive isotope beams. At the SIS/FRS facility at GSI exotic beams at relativistic energies were employed for Coulomb excitation and secondary fragmentation experiments. High-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy is the main tool to investigate the shell evolution far off stability, proton-neutron...

The highly-efficient and segmented TIGRESS gamma-ray spectrometer at TRIUMF has been used to perform a reorientation-effect Coulomb-excitation study of the first 2+ state at 3.368 MeV in 10Be. This is the first Coulomb-excitation measurement that enables one to obtain information on diagonal matrix elements for such a high-lying first excited state from gamma-ray data. With the availability of...
