Predictions of the spectroscopic properties of low-lying states are critical for nuclear structure studies, but are problematic for nuclei with an odd nucleon due to the interplay of the unpaired single particle with nuclear collective…
Following our study of possible $K$-isomers in odd-even Md-Rg nuclei, here we continue with searching for three-quasiparticle 1$\nu$2$\pi$ and 3$\nu$ isomer candidates in even-odd Fm - Cn nuclei. We use the same approach to calculate…
The most consistently useful simple model for the study of odd deformed nuclei, the particle-rotor model (strong coupling limit of the core-particle coupling model) has nevertheless been beset by a long-standing problem: It is necessary in…
