A triaxial core rotating around the middle axis, i.e. 2-axis, is cranked around the 1-axis, due to the coupling of an odd proton from a high j orbital. Using the Bargmann representation of a new and complex boson expansion of the angular momentum components, the eigenvalue equation of the model Hamiltonian acquires a Schr{o}dinger form with a fully separated kinetic energy. From a critical angular momentum, the potential energy term exhibits three minima, two of them being degenerate. Spectra of the deepest wells reflects a chiral-like structure. Energies corresponding to the deepest and local minima respectively, are analytically expressed within a harmonic approximation. Based on a classical analysis, a phase diagram is constructed. It is also shown that the transverse wobbling mode is unstable. The wobbling frequencies corresponding to the deepest minimum are used to quantitatively describe the wobbling properties in $^{135}$Pr. Both energies and e.m. transition probabilities are described.
A new interpretation for the wobbling bands in the even-odd Lu isotopes is given within a particle-triaxial rotor semi-classical formalism. While in the previous papers the bands TSD1, TSD2, TSD3 and TSD4 are viewed as the ground, one, two and three phonon wobbling bands, here the corresponding experimental results are described as the ground band with spin equal to I=R+j, for R=0,2,4,...(TSD1), the ground band with I=R+j and R=1,3,5,...(TSD2), the one phonon excitations of TSD2 (TSD3), with the odd proton moving in the orbit $j=i_{13/2}$, and the ground band of I=R+j, with R=1,3,5,... and $j=h_{9/2}$ (TSD4). The moments of inertia (MoI) of the core for the first three bands are the same, and considered to be free parameters. Due to the core polarization effect caused by the particle-core coupling, the MoIs for TSD4 are different. The energies and the e.m. transitions are quantitatively well described. Also, the phase diagram of the odd system is drawn. In the parameter space, one indicates where the points associated with the fitted parameters are located, which is the region where the transversal wobbling mode might be possible, as well as where the wobbling motion is forbidden.
A unitary description for wobbling motion in even-even and even-odd nuclei is presented. In both cases compact formulas for wobbling frequencies are derived. The accuracy of the harmonic approximation is studied for the yrast as well as for the excited bands in the even-even case. Important results for the structure of the wave function and its behavior inside the two wells of the potential energy function corresponding to the Bargmann representation are pointed out. Applications to $^{158}$Er and $^{163}$Lu reveal a very good agreement with available data. Indeed, the yrast energy levels in the even-even case and the first four triaxial super-deformed bands, TSD1,TSD2,TSD3 and TSD4, are realistically described. Also, the results agree with the data for the E2 and M1 intra- as well as inter-band transitions. Perspectives for the formalism development and an extensive application to several nuclei from various regions of the nuclides chart are presented.
Two newly observed bands built on a two-quasiparticle configuration in 130Ba have been investigated for the first time with the microscopic projected shell model. The experimental energy spectra and the available electromagnetic transition probabilities are well reproduced. The wobbling character of the higher band is revealed by the angular momentum projected wavefunctions via the K plot and the azimuthal plot. This provides the first strong microscopic evidence for wobbling motion based on a two-quasiparticle configuration in even-even nuclei.

Time-reversal breaking and parity-conserving millistrong interactions, suggested in 1965, still remain a viable mechanism of CP-violation beyond the Standard Model. One of its possible manifestations is the T-odd asymmetry in the transmission of tensor-polarized deuterons through a vector-polarized hydrogen gas target. Upon the rotation of the deuteron polarization from the vertical direction into the ring plane, the T-odd asymmetries, odd against the reversal of the proton polarization in the target, will continuously oscillate with first or second harmonics of the spin precession frequency. The Fourier analysis of the oscillating T-odd asymmetries allows for an easy separation from background persistent in conventional experiments employing static vector and tensor polarizations.
