Grant Description

The structure of isotopes in the light-actinide region of the nuclear chart is of interest due to the prediction of pear-shaped nuclei.

Both theoretical and experimental research has provided evidence for the breaking of intrinsic symmetry with the identification of octupole deformation in specific nuclei, which explains why interleaving alternating-parity bands have been observed
