18 pags., 11 figs., 4 tabs. ; The transitional nuclei Ba-134 and Ba-133 are investigated after multinucleon transfer employing the high-resolution Advanced GAmma Tracking Array coupled to the magnetic spectrometer PRISMA at the Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro, Italy, and after fusion-evaporation reaction at the FN tandem accelerator of the University of Cologne, Germany. The J(pi) = 19/2(+) state at 1942 keV in Ba-133 is identified as an isomer with a half-life of 66.6(20) ns corresponding to a B(E1) value of 7.7(4) x 10(-6) e(2) fm(2) for the J(pi) = 19/2(+) to J(pi) = 19/2(-) transition. The level scheme of Ba-134 above the J(pi) = 10(+) isomer is extended to approximately 6 MeV. A pronounced backbending is observed at h omega = 0.38 MeV along the positive-parity yrast band. The results are compared to the high-spin systematics of the Z = 56 isotopes. Large-scale shell-model calculations employing the GCN50:82, SN100PN, SNV, PQM130, Realistic SM, and EPQQM interactions reproduce the experimental findings and elucidate the structure of the high-spin states. The shell-model calculations employing the GCN50:82 and PQM130 interactions reproduce alignment properties and provide detailed insight into the microscopic origin of this phenomenon in transitional Ba-134. ; The research leading to these results has received funding from the German BMBF under Contracts No. 05P15PKFN9 TP1 and No. 05P18PKFN9 TP1, from the European Union Seventh Framework Programme FP7/2007-2013 under Grant No. 262010-ENSAR, from the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación under Contract No. FPA2011-29854-C04, from the Spanish Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad under Contract No. FPA2014- 57196-C5, and from the U.K. Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC).

WOS: 000350998600002 ; The level structure of the neutron-rich Cu-69, Cu-71, and Cu-73 isotopes has been investigated by means of multinucleon transfer reactions. The experiment was performed at Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro using the AGATA Demonstrator array coupled to the PRISMA magnetic spectrometer. Lifetimes of excited states in Cu nuclei were measured with the recoil-distance Doppler-shift method. The resulting electromagnetic matrix elements for transitions from excited states in Cu-69,Cu-71,Cu-73 nuclei are used to assess the collective or single-particle character of these states. The results are compared with predictions of large-scale shell-model calculations, giving further insight into the evolution of the proton pf shell as neutrons fill the 1g(9/2) orbital. ; European Union Seventh Framework Program FP7 [262010]; ENSAR; MINECO, Spain [FPA2011-29854-C03, FPA2011-29854-C04, Consolider-Ingenio 2010 CSD2007-00042]; Generalitat Valenciana, Spain [PROMETEOII/2014/019] ; This work has been partially supported by the European Union Seventh Framework Program FP7/2007-2013 under Grant Agreement No. 262010, ENSAR and MINECO, Spain, under Grants No. FPA2011-29854-C03 and No. FPA2011-29854-C04, Generalitat Valenciana, Spain, under Grant No. PROMETEOII/2014/019, and MINECO, Spain, under Grant Consolider-Ingenio 2010 CSD2007-00042.
