Cluster model studies of nuclei in the actinide region

Three independent techniques for obtaining core-cluster partitions of nuclei in the actinide region are found to give consistent results. As a by-product the techniques generate theoretical decay constants and energy spectra in good agreement with their experimental counterparts. The relationship implied by the binary cluster model between core-cluster charge products and electric quadrupole transition strengths is confirmed; and a basis from which to extract quantitative information from Casten's correlations is introduced.
