The author has led the analysis of the 28Mg(d,p)29Mg reaction, measured with the ISOLDE Solenoidal Spectrometer (ISS) at the ISOLDE facility, CERN. This was the first measurement made using this device and the first time that a solenoidal spectrometer has been used at an ISOL radioactive beam facility. Significant attention is paid to optimizing methods of analysing direct nuclear reactions taking place in solenoidal fields and, as part of this, the author has developed his own analysis codes and simulations. The thesis gives an extremely comprehensive and well-written description of this novel system and provides a canonical reference for ISS that will be of great use to researchers and students, as well as presenting some significant scientific results focused on the N=20 "island of inversion", a region of nuclides of great current interest in nuclear physics. . 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5061 606 $aNuclear physics 606 $aMeasurement 606 $aMeasuring instruments 606 $aParticle accelerators 606 $aMass spectroscopy 606 $aNuclear Physics 606 $aMeasurement Science and Instrumentation 606 $aAccelerator Physics 606 $aMass Spectrometry 615 0$aNuclear physics. 615 0$aMeasurement. 615 0$aMeasuring instruments. 615 0$aParticle accelerators. 615 0$aMass spectroscopy. 615 14$aNuclear Physics. 615 24$aMeasurement Science and Instrumentation. 615 24$aAccelerator Physics. 615 24$aMass Spectrometry. 676 $a539.74 700 $aMacGregor$b Patrick T.$01272329 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a996503463403316 996 $aSingle-Particle Structure of 29Mg on the Approach to the N = 20 Island of Inversion$93091179 997 $aUNISA
