Towards Far from Stability with Euroball

The Euroball γ-detector array has been built with the main purpose of studying high angular momentum phenomena in nuclei. When coupled with powerful ancillary detectors it has proved to be an excellent instrument to explore the properties of very exotic nuclei far from β-stability. A large fraction of the experiments has been therefore devoted to study both proton-rich and neutron-rich nuclei populated with very low cross sections by using the stable beams provided by the Legnaro and Strasbourg accelerators. In this talk the main emphasis will be on nuclei lying close to the N = Z line where fundamental properties of the nuclear force can be tested with high precision.
