In this work, we identify a unique and novel feature of central density depletion in both proton and neutron named as doubly bubble nuclei in 50$leq$Z(N)$leq$82 region. The major role of 2d-3s single-particle (s.p.) states in the existence of halo and bubble nuclei is probed. The occupancy in s.p. state 3s$_{1/2}$ leads to the extended neutron density distribution or halo while the unoccupancy results in the central density depletion. By employing the Relativistic Mean-Field (RMF) approach along with NL3* parameter, the separation energies, single-particle energies, pairing energies, proton, and neutron density profiles along with deformations of even-even nuclei are investigated. Our results are in concise with few other theories and available experimental data. Emergence on new shell closure and the magicity of conventional shell closures are explored systematically in this yet unknown region.

We systematically determine ground-state and saddle-point shapes and masses for 1305 heavy and superheavy nuclei with $Z=98-126$ and $N=134-192$, including odd-$A$ and odd-odd systems. From these, we derive static fission barrier heights, one- and tw
o-nucleon separation energies, and $Q_alpha$ values for g.s. to g.s transitions. Our study is performed within the microscopic-macroscopic method with the deformed Woods-Saxon single-particle potential and the Yukawa-plus-exponential macroscopic energy taken as the smooth part. We use parameters of the model that were fitted previously to masses of even-even heavy nuclei. For systems with odd numbers of protons, neutrons, or both, we use a standard BCS method with blocking. Ground-state shapes and energies are found by the minimization over seven axially-symmetric deformations. A search for saddle-points was performed by using the imaginary water flow method in three consecutive stages, using five- (for nonaxial shapes) and seven-dimensional (for reflection-asymmetric shapes) deformation spaces. The results are collected in two main tables. Calculated ground-state mass excess, nucleon separation- and $Q_alpha$ energies, total, macroscopic(normalized to the macroscopic energy at the spherical shape) and shell corrections energies, and deformations are given for each nucleus in mbox{Table 1}. mbox{Table 2} contains calculated properties of the saddle-point configurations and the fission barrier heights. In mbox{Tables 3-7}, are given calculated ground-state, inner and outer saddle-point and superdeformed secondary minima characteristics for 75 actinide nuclei, from Ac to Cf, for which experimental estimates of fission barrier heights are known. These results are an additional test of our model.
Using HF+BCS method we study light nuclei with nuclear charge in the range $2 leq Z leq 8$ and lying near the neutron drip line. The HF method uses effective Skyrme forces and allows for axial deformations. We find that the neutron drip line forms st
ability peninsulas at $^{18}$He and $^{40}$C. These isotopes are found to be stable against one neutron emission and possess the highest known neutron to proton ratio in stable nuclei.
Transfermium nuclei (101$leq$Z$leq$110) are investigated thoroughly to describe structural properties viz. deformation, radii, shapes, magicity, etc. as well as their probable decay chains. These properties are explored using relativistic mean-field
(RMF) approach and compared with other theories along with available experimental data. Neutron numbers N$=$152 and 162 have come forth with a deformed shell gap whereas N$=$184 is ensured as a spherical magic number. The region with N$>$168 bears witness of the phenomenon of shape transition and shape coexistence for all the considered isotopic chains. Experimental $alpha$-decay half-lives are compared with our theoretical half-lives obtained by using various empirical/semi-empirical formulas. The recent formula proposed by Manjunatha textit{et al.}, which results best among the considered 10 formulas, is further modified by adding asymmetry dependent terms ($I$ and $I^2$). This modified Manjunatha formula is utilized to predict probable $alpha$-decay chains that are found in excellent agreement with available experimental data.
We present a measurement of the two-point autocorrelation function of photometrically-selected, high-$z$ quasars over $sim$ 100 deg$^2$ on the Sloan Digitial Sky Survey Stripe 82 field. Selection is performed using three machine-learning algorithms,
trained on known high-$z$ quasar colors, in a six-dimensional, optical/mid-infrared color space. Optical data from the Sloan Digitial Sky Survey is combined with overlapping deep mid-infrared data from the emph{Spitzer} IRAC Equatorial Survey and the emph{Spitzer}-HETDEX Exploratory Large-area survey. The selected quasar sample consists of 1378 objects and contains both spectroscopically-confirmed quasars and photometrically-selected quasar candidates. These objects span a redshift range of $2.9 leq z leq 5.1$ and are generally fainter than $i=20.2$; a regime which has lacked sufficient number density to perform autocorrelation function measurements of photometrically-classified quasars. We compute the angular correlation function of these data, marginally detecting quasar clustering. We fit a single power-law with an index of $delta = 1.39 pm 0.618$ and amplitude of $theta_0 = 0.71 pm 0.546$ arcmin. A dark-matter model is fit to the angular correlation function to estimate the linear bias. At the average redshift of our survey ($langle z rangle = 3.38$) the bias is $b = 6.78 pm 1.79$. Using this bias, we calculate a characteristic dark-matter halo mass of 1.70--9.83$times 10^{12}h^{-1} M_{odot}$. Our bias estimate suggests that quasar feedback intermittently shuts down the accretion of gas onto the central super-massive black hole at early times. If confirmed, these results hint at a level of luminosity dependence in the clustering of quasars at high-$z$.
It is well known that most actinides fission into fragments of unequal size. The first attempt to understand this difference suggested that division leading to one of the fragments being near doubly magic $^{132}$Sn is favored by gain in binding ener
gy. After the Strutinsky shell-correction method was developed an alternative idea that gained popularity was that the fission saddle might be lower for mass-asymmetric shapes and that this asymmetry was preserved until scission. Recently it was observed [Phys. Rev. Lett. {bf 105} (2010) 252502] that $^{180}$Hg preferentially fissions asymmetrically in contradiction to the fragment-magic-shell expectation which suggested symmetric division peaked around $^{90}$Zr, with its magic neutron number $N=50$, so it was presented as a new type of asymmetric fission. However, in a paper [Phys. Lett. 34B (1971) 349] a simple microscopic mechanism behind the asymmetry of the actinide fission saddle points was proposed to be related the coupling between levels of type [40$LambdaOmega$] and [51$LambdaOmega$]. The paper then generalizes this idea and made the remarkable prediction that analogous features could exist in other regions. In particular it was proposed that in the rare-earth region couplings between levels of type [30$LambdaOmega$] and [41$LambdaOmega$] would favor mass-asymmetric outer saddle shapes. In this picture the asymmetry of $^{180}$Hg is not a new type of asymmetric fission but of analogous origin as the asymmetry of actinide fission. This prediction has never been cited in the discussion of the recently observed fission asymmetries in the new region of asymmetry, in nuclear physics also referred to as the rare-earth region. We show by detailed analysis that the mechanism of the saddle asymmetry in the sub-Pb region is indeed the one predicted half a century ago.
