The nuclear shell model is a benchmark for the description of the structure of atomic nuclei. The magic numbers associated with closed shells have long been assumed to be valid across the whole nuclear chart. Investigations in recent years of nuclei far away from nuclear stability at facilities for radioactive ion beams have revealed that the magic numbers may change locally in those exotic nuclei leading to the disappearance of classic shell gaps and the appearance of new magic numbers. These changes in shell structure also have important implications for the synthesis of heavy elements in stars and stellar explosions. In this review a brief overview of the basics of the nuclear shell model will be given together with a summary of recent theoretical and experimental activities investigating these changes in the nuclear shell structure.

Summary: The nEXO experiment proposes the use of light originating in the skin LXe region to improve background discrimination by 5%. This improvement comes from removing a fraction of gamma-ray background and efficiently rejecting background from Rn-222 dissolved in the skin LXe by tagging the decay in the Bi-214-Po-214 chain in the skin LXe.

Summary: In a high-energy fragmentation experiment at GSI, an I-pi = (6(+)) isomer and its gamma-decay were identified in Sn-102, with a half-life of T-1/2 = 367(11) ns. The possible existence of further isomers was discussed in the framework of large-scale shell model calculations, including up to five particle-hole excitations of the Sn-100 core.

Summary: The nEXO neutrinoless double beta decay experiment aims to detect the decay in Xe-136 using a time projection chamber and 5000 kg of isotopically enriched liquid xenon. The experiment has made significant improvements in detector design, simulation accuracy, and data analysis methods, leading to a sensitivity prediction that exceeds the half-life of 10^28 years. It is expected that in 10 years of data taking, the nEXO experiment will reach a sensitivity of 1.35 x 10^28 years, covering a wide range of parameter space associated with neutrino mass ordering.

Summary: Monte Carlo simulations are commonly used in nuclear physics to model experimental systems. This study presents a Bayesian approach to fitting experimental data from a Be-12(d,p) reaction measurement, using simulations made with GEANT4. The Q-values from the C-12(d,p) reaction to well-known states in C-13 are compared with simulations using BayesOpt. The results show successful extraction of excitation energies of the lowest three excited states in C-13, providing a way to obtain information on Be-13.

Summary: In the experiment on proton inelastic scattering of He-8 at 8.25A MeV at TRIUMF, a resonance at 3.54 MeV with a large deformation parameter beta(2) = 0.40(3) was discovered, consistent with predictions of neutron deformation. This reveals a new paradigm of deformed double-closed shell at the neutron drip-line.

Summary: In this study, the beta-delayed neutron-emission probabilities of 28 exotic neutron-rich isotopes were measured for the first time using advanced detectors. The results significantly expanded the existing database and improved the accuracy of previously measured values. The new data not only contribute to the understanding of theoretical predictions, but also provide insights into the formation mechanisms of rare-earth peaks and reduce abundance uncertainty.

Summary: Liquid xenon time projection chambers are promising detectors for neutrinoless double beta decay, and the nEXO collaboration has designed a tonne-scale chamber with a projected half-life sensitivity of 1.35 x 10^28 yr. This paper reports on the characterization of vacuum ultra-violet sensitive SiPMs designed for nEXO, as well as measurements on new test samples of previously characterized MPPCs. The results are used to provide updated estimates of the achievable energy resolution for the nEXO design.

Summary: Reactions on proton-rich nuclides play a crucial role in nucleosynthesis in core collapse supernovae and x-ray bursts. However, the Ni-Cu cycle may pose a challenge for the production of heavier elements during the Cu-59(p, alpha) Ni-56 reaction. New research suggests that the vp process could operate at higher temperatures, making it a viable pathway for synthesizing heavier elements.

Summary: Measurements of neutron capture cross sections of neutron-rich nuclei are crucial for understanding nucleosynthesis and stellar evolution. Indirect methods like Coulomb dissociation are powerful in inferring capture cross sections. Experimental data for these reactions are necessary for validating theoretical models.
