The structure of the 33 S nucleus was investigated in the 24 Mg(14 N,αp) fusion-evaporation reaction using a 40-MeV 14 N beam. The level scheme was extended up to an excitation energy of 11.7 MeV and spin 19/2 +. Lifetimes of the intermediate-and high-spin states have been investigated by the Doppler shift attenuation method. Data were compared with different shell-model calculations where effective interactions involving two main shells, the sd and the fp, are used.

Low-spin excited states in 145 La have been investigated from the 145 Ba β − decay. The 145 Ba nuclei were directly produced by photofission in the ALTO facility or obtained from the β − decay of 145 Cs also produced by photofission. A new level scheme is proposed including 67 excited levels up to 3 MeV and 164 transitions. Half-lives in the few ns range were measured for the first excited states. Configurations for levels up to ≈ 600 keV are proposed.
