Neutron-rich nuclei in the vicinity of the $N=40$ island of inversion are characterized by shell evolution and exhibit deformed ground states. In several nuclei isomeric states have been observed and attributed to excitations to the intruder neutron $1g_{9/2}$ orbital. In the present study we searched for isomeric states in nuclei around $N=40$, $Z=22$ produced by projectile fragmentation at RIBF. Delayed $gamma$ rays were detected by the EURICA germanium detector array. High statistics data allowed for an updated decay scheme of $^{60}$V. The lifetime of an isomeric state in $^{64}$V was measured for the first time in the present experiment. A previously unobserved isomeric state was discovered in $^{58}$Sc. The measured lifetime suggests a parity changing transition, originating from an odd number of neutrons in the $1g_{9/2}$ orbital. The nature of the isomeric state in $^{58}$Sc is thus different from isomers in the less exotic V and Sc nuclei.

The spherical-to-prolate shape transition in neutron-rich Cr isotopes from N = 34 to 42 is studied by solving the collective Schru007fodinger equation for the five-dimensional quadrupole collective Hamiltonian. The collective potential and inertial f unctions are microscopically derived with use of the constrained Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov plus local quasiparticle random-phase approximation method. Nature of the quadrupole collectivity of low-lying states is discussed by evaluating excitation spectra and electric quadrupole moments and transition strengths. The result of calculation indicates that Cr isotopes around 64Cr are prolately deformed but still possess transitional character; large-amplitude shape fluctuations dominate in their low-lying states.

The region near Z=28, N=40 is a subject of great interest for nuclear structure studies due to spectroscopic signatures in $^{68}$Ni suggesting a subshell closure at N=40. Trends in nuclear masses and their derivatives provide a complementary approac h to shell structure investigations via separation energies. Penning trap mass spectrometry has provided precise measurements for a number of nuclei in this region, however a complete picture of the mass surfaces has so far been limited by the large uncertainty remaining for nuclei with N > 40 along the iron and cobalt chains. Here we present the first Penning trap measurements of $^{68,69}$Co, performed at the Low-Energy Beam and Ion Trap facility at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. In addition, we perform ab initio calculations of ground state and two-neutron separation energies of cobalt isotopes with the valence-space in-medium similarity renormalization group approach based on a particular set of two- and three-nucleon forces which predict saturation in infinite matter. We discuss the importance of these measurements and calculations for understanding the evolution of nuclear structure near $^{68}$Ni.

We present a comprehensive study on the low-lying states of neutron-rich Er, Yb, Hf, and W isotopes across the $N=126$ shell with a multi-reference covariant density functional theory. Beyond mean-field effects from shape mixing and symmetry restorat ion on the observables that are relevant for understanding quadrupole collectivity and underlying shell structure are investigated. The general features of low-lying states in closed-shell nuclei are retained in these four isotopes around $N=126$, even though the shell gap is overall quenched by about 30% with the beyond mean-field effects. These effects are consistent with the previous generator-coordinate calculations based on Gogny forces, but much smaller than that predicted by the collective Hamiltonian calculation. It implies that the beyond mean-field effects on the $r$-process abundances before the third peak at $Asim195$ might be more moderate than that found in A. Arcones and G. F. Bertsch, Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 151101 (2012).

Within the framework of the dinuclear system model, the production mechanism of neutron-rich heavy nuclei around N = 162 has been investigated systematically. The isotopic yields in the multinucleon transfer reaction of $^{238}$U + $^{248}$Cm was ana lyzed and compared the available experimental data. Systematics on the production of superheavy nuclei via $^{238}$U on $^{252,254}$Cf, $^{254}$Es and $^{257}$Fm is investigated. It is found that the shell effect is of importance in the formation of neutron-rich nuclei around N=162 owing to the enhancement of fission barrier. The fragments in the multinucleon transfer reactions manifest the broad isotopic distribution and are dependent on the beam energy. The polar angles of the fragments tend to the forward emission with increasing the beam energy. The production cross sections of new isotopes are estimated and heavier targets are available for the neutron-rich superheavy nucleus formation. The optimal system and beam energy are proposed for the future experimental measurements.

The transition rates for the 2_{1}^{+} states in 62,64,66Fe were studied using the Recoil Distance Doppler-Shift technique applied to projectile Coulomb excitation reactions. The deduced E2 strengths illustrate the enhanced collectivity of the neutro n-rich Fe isotopes up to N=40. The results are interpreted by the generalized concept of valence proton symmetry which describes the evolution of nuclear structure around N=40 as governed by the number of valence protons with respect to Z~30. The deformation suggested by the experimental data is reproduced by state-of-the-art shell calculations with a new effective interaction developed for the fpgd valence space.
