Abstract.

High-spin states in the 142Ce and 140Ba nuclei have been populated in the 12C + 238U and 18O + 208Pb fusion-fission reactions at 90MeV and 85MeV bombarding energy, respectively. The emitted γ -radiation was detected using the Euroball III and IV arrays. The high-spin yrast and near-to-yrast structures of 142Ce have been considerably extended. The level scheme of 140Ba has been extended by six new levels. The newly observed structures in these N = 84 isotones are discussed by analogy with the neighbouring nuclei.
