The proton number Z=82, is known as one of the most robust magic numbers from the nuclear landscape. The lead isotopes, bearer of that proton number, are the established reference for spherical nuclei [1] to which all isotopes in the region are compared. As one departs from Z=82, and reaches further away from the neutron shell closure at N=126, new features emerge, such as shape coexistence at very low energy [2] or the reflection-asymmetric deformed nuclei [3] that could be used for the study of physics beyond the standard model.
At the CERN ISOLDE facility in Geneva, Switzerland, a wide variety of high-quality, high-purity, radioactive ion beams in the region of Z=79-88 are available, some with high intensity, some far removed from the N=126 shell closure. This feature of the ISOLDE facility has enabled a large number of experimental programmes to be carried out, which, when put together, offer a unique perspective into this region of the nuclear chart.
In this presentation, I shall present some recent results from nuclear decay spectroscopy, in-source and in-flight laser spectroscopy, and high-precision mass spectrometry, that have contributed to enhancing our understanding of this region of the nuclear chart.
