TL;DR: Deformed shell model calculations based on an average Woods-Saxon potential with a monopole pairing force included show for a number of nuclei close to A≈130 the appearance of rotational bands with a large deformation, s2≈0.4 as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Theoretical quasiparticle energy diagrams for 76 rare earth nuclei situated close to or on the neutron-deficient side of the β-stability line were calculated in this article.

TL;DR: In this article, the shapes of rotating Ra and Th nuclei were calculated using the cranking model, and a transition was predicted to take place along the yrast line to shapes with similar quadrupole but no octupole deformation component.
