Investigating High Spin States in Transplutonium nuclei with Ultimate Cranker

Total Routhian Surface calculations have been performed with the Ultimate Cranker program (modified harmonic oscillator potential) as a function of epsilon2, epsilon4 and gamma deformation parameters on actinide nuclei with 94$\le $Z$\le $98 and 150$\le $N$\le $152. The equilibrium deformation trend is investigated with increasing frequencies. Nucleon alignments as a function of rotational frequency deduced from the calculations are compared with previous results reported in literature, both experimental as well as theoretical (Woods-Saxon potential). Results from the calculations will be presented and discussed in the context of new spectroscopic information in this region.
