Background: The nucleus $^{32}$Mg ($N=20$ and $Z=12$) plays a central role in the so-called "island of inversion" where in the ground states $sd$-shell neutrons are promoted to the $fp$-shell orbitals across the shell gap, resulting in the…

We study binding energies in three isotopic chains ($^{100-130}$Sn, $^{152-181}$Yb, and $^{181-202}$Pb) using the extended pairing model with Nilsson single-particle energies. The exactly solvable nature of the model means that the pairing…

Results of calculations for inelastic e+Mg effective collision strengths for the lowest 25 physical states of Mg I (up to 3s6p 1P), and thus 300 transitions, from the convergent close-coupling (CCC) and the B-spline R-matrix (BSR) methods…
We calculate reduced B(E2) and B(M1) electromagnetic transition strengths within and between K-bands in support of a recently proposed model for the structure of heavy nuclei. Previously, only spectra and a rough indication of the largest…
The microscopic quasiparticle-phonon model, MQPM, is used to study the energy spectra of the odd $Z=53 - 63$, N=82 isotones. The results are compared with experimental data, with the extreme quasiparticle-phonon limit and with the results…
The neutron-rich even-even nuclei $^{26-40}$Mg, $^{28-46}$Si, $^{30-48}$S, and $^{32-56}$Ar are calculated with the RMF model and the phase-shift electron scattering method. Results show that level inversion of the 2$s_{1/2}$ and 1$d_{3/2}$…
