About this book
This book is based on the lectures given at the “Euroschool on Exotic Beams” and collects contributions which address topics from the traditional core of the field of exotic nuclei like nuclear structure far from stability, discussing recent theoretical developments and state-of-the-art experimental methods. It provides also new perspectives in nuclear astrophysics and in applied areas such as gamma-ray emission imaging. The contributions are written with a pedagogical approach and carefully edited in order to provide the readership with a clear and fluent reading.
The book is intended for PhD students and young researchers who are approaching the new research lines in nuclear physics with exotic nuclei. Only basics concepts on quantum mechanics and nuclear physics are requested to follow and master the covered arguments.

About the editors
Silvia M. Lenzi received the PhD in Physics from the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1987. She is Professor at the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Padova, Italy. Her research activity covers different theoretical and experimental aspects of the structure of atomic nuclei. The main research line involves the structure of nuclei far from the valley of stability and, in particular, proton-rich and neutron-rich nuclei. The experimental research consists on high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy. This is complemented with theoretical developments in the framework of the nuclear shell model. Prof. Lenzi has a wide teaching experience in general physics and advanced nuclear physics courses and has supervised several PhD students and postdocs. She is the Chair of the Board of Directors of the Euroschool on Exotic Beams and Lecturer at the same school. She has been the coordinator of European networks for gamma-ray spectroscopy funded by the EU(2005-2020). Currently, Prof. Lenzi is the Director of the School of Specialization in Medical Physics at the University of Padova.
Dolores Cortina-Gil is Professor at the Physics Faculty of University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain, and fellow at the Galician Institute of High Energy Physics (IGFAE). She works in experimental nuclear physics at the interplay of nuclear reaction and structure, using relativistic radioactive beams. After studying physics at the University of Valencia, Spain, she received a PhD from the University of Caen (GANIL), France, in 1996. She was postdoctoral researcher at GSI (1997-2001) and earned a Tenure track position at the University of Santiago de Compostela in 2002, that was consolidated in 2008. Prof. Cortina has a wide teaching experience in nuclear physics courses and has supervised several PhD students. She is a member of the Board of Directors of the Euroschool for Exotic Beams since 2007, and Lecturer of the same school. Currently, she is the Head of the nuclear physics division of the Spanish Physical Society (RSEF) and Spokesperson of the R3B collaboration at FAIR.
