My primary research focuses on the theoretical interpretation of high-spin features, especially the signature effects observed in one and two quasiparticle rotational bands using the Quasiparticle Plus Rotor Model. Currently, I am working on empirical model calculations of band-head energies of three-quasiparticle states. These calculations support experimentalists in configuration assignments to observed three-quasiparticle quadruplets in the rare earth mass region. A research article based on these results will soon be submitted to Physical Review C.
I contribute to the updating of Evaluated Nuclear Structure and Decay Data Files (ENSDF), which are widely used in retrieval software such as NuDat, MIRD, and Radware. I am actively involved in evaluating mass chains for the Indian evaluation region (A=215–228). Recent contributions include mass chains A=217, A=227, and A=219, in collaboration with McMaster University (Canada), HBCSE–TIFR (Mumbai), and VECC (Calcutta). The A=217 and A=227 evaluations are published, while A=219 is under review in the Journal of Nuclear Data Sheets.
Horizontal evaluations focus on key nuclear parameters across many nuclides. I recently completed an evaluation of the nuclear radius parameter of even-even alpha emitters, covering 186 nuclei. A research article on this work is under review in the Journal of Nuclear Data Sheets. Currently, I am conducting another horizontal evaluation of magnetic and anti-magnetic rotational bands.
In collaboration with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Vienna, I contribute to the development and improvement of ENSDF analysis and utility codes. Notable codes I have developed include RadD, ALPHAD, and ALPHAD_RadD, now in use by members of the International Network of Nuclear Structure and Decay Data Evaluators. These tools are publicly available on the IAEA website: ENSDF Program Library .
