Identification and structure of p‐rich rare‐earth nuclei investigated using a He‐jet fed on‐line mass‐separator

Activities produced via fusion‐evaporation reactions with 32S, 35Cl and 36Ar beams in thin 112Sn and 106Cd targets have been transported using a He‐jet coupled to a mass separator. Gamma‐ray and X‐ray techniques have been used to study the excited levels of 138,136Sm and 134,132Nd fed in the β‐decay of 138Eu(12 s), 136Eu(3.7 s) 134Pm (21 s) and 132Pm (5 s). Results are presented through systematics and discussed in the framework of recent self‐consistent calculations including the γ degree of freedom.
