High spin states in Sr95

Twenty new gamma transitions in Sr-95 were identified from gamma-gamma-gamma coincidences in the spontaneous fission of Cf-252. New bands, based on a previously known isomeric state, T-1/2=23.6(24) ns, have been built up to a (31/2(+)) state. The states in these bands show a close similarity in transition energies to the ground band of the neighboring Sr-94, which has a spherical shape. This similarity is interpreted as the weak coupling of the 1g(7/2) neutron particle to the levels of the Sr-94(38)56 core.
