      The research developed by our group is currently focused on the  study of
      the low-lying structure of nuclei. In particular, some of the topics we study
      are:

           * Multi-phonon structures in spherical or nearly spherical nuclei, such
             as Pd, Cd and Sn isotopes.
           * New discovery and study by Shelly Lesher and others of 0+ excitations      
             in deformed nuclei, such as 158Gd.
           * Mixed-symmetry states in nearly spherical nuclei as 93Nb, 94Mo and 96Mo.
 
           * Fundamental symmetries of the nuclear force, such as charge independence
             of the nuclear force in the A=42 isobaric triplet (isospin symmetry).

      In addition, the next Table shows some of the different isotopes we have studied
      during the last years.
