New approaches to studies of exotic nuclei
New generations of 4{pi} gamma-ray detectors, recoil mass spectrometers (RMS), and radioactive beam accelerators will open up many new areas of research, including present inaccessible in-beam and radioactive decay studies of exotic nuclei still farther off stability. The new generation RMS and radioactive beam developments at the Holifield Heavy Ion Research Facility are presented. Current research and further prospects to probe the N -- Z line up to {sup 100}Sn are described. Superdeformation in A -- 70 to 190 nuclei is described in terms of its underlying physics of reinforcing proton and neutron shell gaps which lead to new superdeformed, doubly-magic nuclei. Recent results provide new insights into the coexistence of multiple nuclear shapes near the ground states.
