Abstract: (Elsevier)
The structure of the N=Z nuclei 60 Zn, 62 Ga, 64 Ge and 72 Kr has been investigated at GASP spectrometer through the 32 S + 40 Ca and 40 Ca + 40 Ca reactions at 140 and 160 MeV, respectively, using reaction channel selection with the ISIS Si-ball. The high spin states of such nuclei have been investigated searching for the four quasi-particle g 9 2 alignment. TRS calculations have been performed for the N=36, 38 and 40 Kr isotopes. In the case of 72 Kr the four quasi-particle g 9 2 alignment is observed to be significantly delayed in rotational frequency with respect to the heavier Kr isotopes. Such a delay contradicts the predictions of mean field calculations and may be interpreted as the first sign of additional correlations in the T=0 pairing channel.
