The structure of ' Nd has been studied via the ' Te("0,4n) ' Nd and '"Te(' 0,4n) ' Nd reactions at beam energies from 64 to 76 MeV and 72 to 76 MeV, respectively. In beam y-ray spectroscopy techniques, including y-ray excitation functions, y-y coincidences, and y-ray angular distribution measurements, were used to construct a level scheme up to J =17 at an excitation energy of 6411 keV. Definite parity assignments were made up to the 11+ state. Two-particle configurations were calculated with a shell model and a modified surface delta interaction.
