Fission fragment mass distributions for 23 nuclei (U,
Np,
Pu,
Am,
Cm, and
Bk) were measured using the multi-nucleon transfer approach in the reaction of
O+
Np, and their excitation-energy dependence was obtained up to a maximum of 70 MeV. Among them, the low energy fission of
Np,
Pu, and
Cm is reported for the first time. The experimental data for all the studied nuclei were compared to the Langevin calculations. The calculation which takes into account the effects of multi-chance fission well reproduced the peak-to-valley ratio and mass-asymmetric peak positions of the distributions. The angular momenta given to the fissioning nucleus is also discussed.

The decay of
Hg into the one-proton hole, one neutron-particle
Tl
nucleus was investigated at CERN-ISOLDE. Shell-model calculations describe well the level scheme deduced, validating the proton-neutron interactions used, with implications for the whole of the
,
quadrant of neutron-rich nuclei. While both negative and positive parity states with spin 0 and 1 are expected within the
window, only three negative parity states are populated directly in the
decay. The data provide a unique test of the competition between allowed Gamow-Teller and Fermi, and first-forbidden
decays, essential for the understanding of the nucleosynthesis of heavy nuclei in the rapid neutron capture process. Furthermore, the observation of the parity changing
decay where the daughter state is core excited is unique, and can provide information on mesonic corrections of effective operators.

A comprehensive study of the isotope Au has been made at the CERN-ISOLDE facility, using resonance laser ionization. Two long-lived states in
Au were identified - a low-spin ground state and a high-spin isomer - each of which were produced as pure beams. Using the ISOLTRAP precision Penning trap, the excitation energy of the isomeric state in
Au was determined to be
189(14) keV. The
-decay fine structure patterns of the two states were studied using the Windmill decay station, providing information on the low-lying states in the daughter nucleus
Ir. Nuclear spin assignments of
Au
and
Au
are made based on the observed
-decay feeding and hyperfine structure intensity patterns.

Decay spectroscopy of the long-lived states in Tl has been performed at ISOLDE, CERN. The
decay from the low-spin (2
) state in
Tl was observed for the first time and a half-life was determined. Based on the
-decay energy, the relative positions of the long-lived states were fixed, with the (2
) state as the ground state, the 7
state at 77(56) keV, and the 10
state at 451(56) keV. The level scheme of the internal decay of the
Tl(10
) state, which was known to decay solely through emission of 374-keV
-ray transition, was extended and a lower limit for the
-decay branching b
5.9(3)% was determined. The extracted retardation factors for the
decay of the 10
state were compared to the available data in neighboring odd-odd thallium isotopes indicating the importance of the
d
shell in the isomeric decay and significant structure differences between
Tl and
Tl.

The extremely neutron-deficient isotopes Au were studied by means of in-beam
-ray spectroscopy. Specific tagging techniques,
-decay tagging in
Au and isomer tagging in
Au, were used for these studies. Feeding of positive-parity, nearly spherical states, which are associated with 2
and 3
proton-hole configurations, from the 1
proton-intruder configuration was observed in
Au. Such a decay path has no precedent in odd-Au isotopes and it is explained by the effect of mixing of wave functions of the initial state.

Hyperfine-structure parameters and isotope shift of the isomeric state in
Au relative to
Au for the 267.6-nm atomic transition have been measured for the first time using the in-source resonance-ionization spectroscopy technique. The magnetic dipole moment and change in the mean-square charge radius for this

ground state in
Au confirms the occurrence of the shape coexistence in

Hyperfine-structure constants for the = 11/2
gold isomers
Au
have been measured at CERN-ISOLDE, using the in-source laser resonance-ionization spectroscopy technique. From the measured hyperfine constants the differences between hyperfine anomalies have been deduced. These differential hyperfine anomaly values have been used to determine the hyperfine anomaly relative to the stable
Au with advanced atomic calculations. Magnetic dipole moments for the gold isomers in question have been deduced, taking into account the corresponding relative hyperfine-anomaly values. It has been shown that the commonly used prescription for the extraction of the magnetic moment values for the gold isotopes should be reconsidered. The magnetic moments calculated by this prescription have been reevaluated by properly accounting for the hyperfine anomaly, which is as large as 10% for several gold isotopes.

matrix elements coupling populated yrast and non-yrast states were extracted, including their relative signs. These are a sensitive probe of shape coexistence and may be used to validate nuclear models. The experimental results are discussed in terms of mixing of two different configurations and are compared with three different model calculations: the Beyond Mean Field model, the Interacting Boson Model with configuration mixing and the General Bohr Hamiltonian. Partial agreement with experiment was observed, hinting to missing ingredients in the theoretical descriptions.
