Abstract.
High-spin states of the N = 87 nuclei, 147Nd and 145Ce, have been populated in the 12C + 238U and 18O + 208Pb fusion-fission reactions at 90 MeV and 85 MeV bombarding energy, respectively. The emitted γ-radiation was detected using the Euroball III and IV arrays. High-spin states of the 147Nd isotope have been identified for the first time. The high-spin yrast and near-to-yrast structures of the 145Ce nucleus have been considerably extended. The newly observed structures, discussed by analogy with the neighbouring isotones, show the coupling of an h9/2 neutron to the quadrupole and octupole excitations of the core.
