Description
The recent observation of high-spin isomers in Neodymium nuclei around the
N=82 shell closure triggered new experimental investigations aiming to the
identification of other similar isomers in the neighboring nuclei. The
results of lifetime measurements for the 6-qp 20+ isomer in 140-Nd and for
the 3-qp isomer above the 19/2+ state in 139-Nd represent a strong support
to the cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations. New experiments for the
search for high-spin isomeric states in the nuclei around the N=82 shell
closure will be discussed.
