- Smith has a longstanding interest in the study of octupole correlations in the light-actinide region, dating back almost 30 years. Smith helped with experimental measurements from which the results in this publication were derived in Summer 2018. Smith was line manager of PDRA Pietro Spagnoletti who analysed the data in conjunction with collaborators at the University of Liverpool (Butler; first author) and who is named as third author on the paper. Smith helped with the drafting of the paper, particularly with the parity-splitting analysis on which the conclusion of vibrational structure of the radon isotopes is based.
