Part I. The Core-Quasiparticle Coupling Model (CQCM) for odd-mass nuclei, which is based on dynamical field theory and the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) method, has been applied to two problems. In the first, a study of Pauli exchange effects for the odd particle in the Interacting Boson-Fermion Model (IBFM) is made by a comparison with the CQCM. Spectra for a partly filled j-shell coupled to Interaction Boson Model cores are calculated in both models, and values of the IBFM exchange parameter ..lambda../sub 0/ are found which lead to spectra similar to those in the CQCM. In the second application, CQCM calculations have been performed for the i/sub 13/2/ bands in the odd-mass Hg isotopes (A = 189 to 197), h/sub 9/2/ bands in the odd-mass Tl isotopes (A = 191 to 197), and the h/sub 11/2/ bands in the odd-mass Au isotopes (A = 189 to 195). Part II. The radioactive decay of /sup 203/At and /sup 203/Po has been studied with mass-separated sources from the UNISOR facility. Time-sequenced spectra of ..gamma..-rays, X-rays, and conversion electrons have been obtained, together with ..gamma..-..gamma..-t, ..gamma..-X-t, e/sup -/-..gamma..-t, and e/sup -/-X-t coincidence data.
