Abstract
The role of isomers for nuclei with Z ≥ 100 is discussed. Recent advances in experimental instrumentation leading to combined in-beam gamma ray and conversion electron spectroscopy are discussed. The rotational spectra of nuclei with Z ≥ 94 and their moments of inertia are discussed. Examples for in-beam spectroscopy leading to the discovery and identification of isomers are given in 248,250Fm. Here some attention is given to the assignment of nuclear configurations from g-factors measured via the branching ratios of coupled bands built on the isomers. A full list of the longest lived isomers in nuclei with Z ≥ 82 is given.
