Abstract
Recent studies on nuclear structure by using radioactive
isotope beams available at the RIKEN projectile-fragment
separator (RIPS) are introduced.
Special emphasis is given to two selected experiments
from recent programs that highlight studies on the magicity loss
observed for very neutron-rich nuclei beyond
N=20
in the "island-of-inversion" region; the particle stability of
, and the low-lying excited states of
