Jacque Raynal’s coupled channels code ECIS has played an important role in the effort to search for shell effects in exotic isotopes using both intermediate energy Coulomb excitation and inverse kinematics proton scattering to probe their level structures and to extract neutron and proton excitation modes through their $$M_n/M_p$$ values. It will continue to be an important tool as nuclei very far from the stable ones are produced in new exotic beam accelerator centers.
