Abstract
The quest for production of new elements has been on for several decades. On the way up the ladder of nuclear chart the systematic research of nuclear properties of elements in transfermium region has been severely overlooked. This drawback is being rectified in past few years by systematic synthesis of especially even-even and odd-A isotopes of these elements. This work proceeds forward also with major contribution of velocity filter SHIP, placed at GSI, Darmstadt. This experimental device represents a unique possibility due to high (up to 1 p{mu}A) beam currents provided by UNILAC accelerator and advancing detection systems to study by means of decay spectroscopy the nuclear structure of isotopes for the elements, possibly up to proton number Z = 110. As the low lying single-particle levels are especially determined by the unpaired nucleon, the odd mass nuclei provide a valuable source of information about the nuclear structure. Such results can be directly compared with the predictions of the calculations based on macroscopic-microscopic model of nuclear matter, thus proving an unambiguous test of the correctness of present models and their power to predict nuclear properties towards yet unknown regions. This work concentrates on the spectroscopic analysis of few of such
