Survey of single-particle states in the mass regionA>228

Abstract
A deformed single-particle potential mode, with residual interactions, is applied to an analysis of states in odd-mass nuclides with A>228, and configuration assignments are presented for many levels. The systematics of energy level spacings throughout the actinides are studied, and the values of the nuclear deformation parameters that are appropriate to these nuclides are discussed. Tables of occupation probabilities and single-particle matrix elements are provided to facilitate the comparison of future measurements with theoretical expectations.
