<p> The properties of the levels of 21Ne and 29Si have been studied via γ-ray angular distribution and linear polarization measurements and γ-γ coincidence studies yielding a number of new spin-parity assignments to the states of both nuclei. Comparison of the results with the Nilsson model for odd nuclei indicate that for 21Ne, good agreement is in general obtained. Nevertheless, a number of interesting discrepancies exist with regard to the negative parity states of 21Ne and explanations have been proposed for some of these. The agreement is also quite good for 29Si with a calculation using a minimum of free parameters, confirming the oblate shape for this nucleus.</p> / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
