Abstract
The population of the high-spin isomers in Nd and Nd was investigated using the Zr(Ca,) reaction and the JUROGAM + RITU + GREAT setup employing the recoil decay tagging technique. Three transitions feeding the 23/2 isomer in Nd and two transitions feeding the 20 isomer in Nd were identified. The newly observed transitions allowed the excitation energy of the isomer to be established in Nd and to assign configurations to the states and bands deexcited by the observed transitions in both nuclei.
