Electron capture decays of 243 Bk and 244 Bk have been studied by measuring the γ-ray spectra of mass-separated sources and level structures of 243 Cm and 244 Cm have been deduced. In 243 Cm, EC population to the ground state, 1/2 + [631], and 1/2 + [620] Nilsson states have been observed.The octupole K π =2 − band has been identified in 244 Cm at 933.6 keV. In addition, spins and parities have been deduced for several other states and two-quasiparticle configurations have been tentatively assigned to them.
