Abstract

We have studied 32^{32}Si and 29^{29}Al using 12^{12}C(22^{22}Ne,2p) and 12^{12}C(22^{22}Ne,α\alphap) fusion-evaporation reactions. In both cases, we observed significant population of high-spin structures distinct from the ground-state yrast bands. In 32^{32}Si, most of the high-energy states feed into a Jπ=5J^{\pi} = 5^- nanosecond isomer. In 29^{29}Al, we identified a rotor-like negative-parity band with a Jπ=7/2J^{\pi} = 7/2^- band-head. Doppler shift lifetime measurements were performed for all observed states. These results were compared to shell model calculations and interpreted in terms of proton and neutron cross-shell excitation.
