Abstract
The investigation of nuclear structure is of fundamental importance in advancing knowledge of subatomic phenomena at Nuclear Physics energy scales. Experimental spectroscopic nuclear structure studies of medium weight isotopes (A~100-120) are critical for understanding important phenomena, such as permanent deformation or shape coexistence, which can provide answers to open questions related to the nuclear potential affecting it. Measurements of lifetimes and nuclear electromagnetic moments are efficient probes of the competition of intranuclear forces. In the framework of the thesis, a series of experimental investigations of towards this direction are being planned at a national and international level.
