The level structure of 140 60 Nd 80 has been established up to spin 48 by in-beam γ -ray spectroscopy by use of the 96 Zr( 48 Ca, 4n) reaction. High-fold γ -ray coincidences were measured with the EUROBALL spectrometer. Twelve new rotational bands have been discovered at high spins. They are interpreted as being formed in a deep triaxial minimum at ε 2 ≈ 0.25 and γ ≈ 35 • . Possible configurations are assigned to the observed bands on the basis of configuration-dependent cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations.

K x-ray satellite spectra of Al in the element and its oxide Al2 O3 , generated by photon excitation, have been studied with a plane crystal spectrometer. The energies and relative intensities of the K x-ray satellite and K low-energy satellite have been measured and compared with theoretical estimates. The results in the element and its oxide are compared to look for chemical effects.
