Abstract

Excited states of the N = Z nuclei 72Kr, 76Sr and 80Zr have been studied in a series of experiments involving Gammasphere plus Microball, and Gammasphere plus the Argonne Fragment Mass Analyzer. The ground state band of 72Kr has been extended to a spin of (26+), and a very pronounced delay in the alignment of g9/2 particles is evident. The ground state bands of 76Sr and 80Zr have been observed to spins 14+ and 12+, respectively, and also show evidence for delayed alignments. This delay in alignment may be a signature for neutron-proton pairing correlations.
