Abstract
High-spin states have been studied in neutron-rich nuclei produced in deep-inelastic collisions between a pulsed beam of 208Pb ions and a 238U target. The structure of nuclei such as 206Hg, 210Pb and 211Bi has revealed new information on the couplings of single-particle states to each other and to the octupole-vibrational phonon, essential input to the nuclear shell model. In addition, the first observations of high-spin states in 237U, 239U and 240U are compared to recent results for neighbouring plutonium nuclei.
