DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Zsolt Podolyak (University of Surrey)\nInformation g
 ained on neutron-rich N~126 nuclei is essential for the understanding of n
 uclear structure in heavy nuclei. Studies around doubly magic systems allo
 w direct tests of the purity of shell model wave functions. In the case of
  the beta decay of N~126 nuclei there is strong competition between allowe
 d and first-forbidden transitions. This is the mass region where first-for
 bidden transitions can be dominant. The prediction of the FF component of 
 the beta decay also requires good understanding of the wave-functions of i
 ndividual states. From a longer-term perspective\, experiments in this reg
 ion pave the way toward the proposed nuclear-astrophysical r-process waiti
 ng point nuclei along the N = 126 shell closure. \nRecently several experi
 ments were performed at ISOLDE with the aim to study neutron-rich nuclei a
 round 208Pb. Both beta decay and Coulomb excitation were used. In addition
 \, the coupling of the iThemba LABS K600 spectrometer with a Ge array will
  allow the study of nuclei in this mass region in particle transfer experi
 ments.\nThe presentation will report on recent results and their relevance
  on the structure of neutron-rich nuclei around 208Pb\, and it will explor
 e future opportunities.\n\nhttps://indico.tlabs.ac.za/event/82/contributio
