Abstract

High-spin states in the N = Z nucleus ⁷²Kr were populated using the ⁴⁰Ca(³⁶Ar,2p2n) reaction at a beam energy of 145 MeV. The yrast band has been observed up to a tentative spin of 20ℏ. Nonyrast rotational structures have also been observed for the first time. The alignment of g_9/2 protons and neutrons in the yrast band is observed to be significantly delayed relative to the heavier even-even Kr isotopes. Exact deformed cranked shell model calculations suggest that this could be due to the combined effect of isovector (T = 1) and isoscalar (T = 0) neutron-proton pairing correlations.
