With the recent advances in radioactive ion beam technology, Coulomb excitation at safe energies
becomes an important experimental tool in nuclear-structure physics. The usefulness of the technique to
extract key information on the electromagnetic properties of nuclei has been demonstrated since the 1960’s
with stable beam and target combinations. New challenges present themselves when studying exotic nuclei
with this technique, including dealing with low statistics or number of data points, absolute and relative
normalisation of the measured cross sections and a lack of complementary experimental data, such as
excited-state lifetimes and branching ratios. This paper addresses some of these common issues and presents
analysis techniques to extract transition strengths and quadrupole moments utilising the least-squares fit
code, gosia.

(American Physical Society, 2020)There is sparse direct experimental evidence that atomic nuclei can exhibit stable “pear” shapes arising from strong octupole correlations. In order to investigate the nature of octupole collectivity in radium isotopes, ... -

(IOP Publishing, 2018)Compound nucleus fission and quasi-fission are both binary decay channels whose common properties make the experimental separation between them difficult. A way to achieve this separation could be to probe the angular ... -
