The fragments were separated in the fragment separator (FRS) and identified by means of energy loss and time-of-flight techniques. They were brought to rest at the centre of the RISING gamma-ray detector array and intensities of gamma rays emitted in the decay of isomeric states with half-lives between 100 ns and 40 $\mu$s and spin values up to 55/2 (h) over bar were used to obtain the corresponding isomeric ratios. The data are compared to theoretical isomeric ratios calculated in the framework of the abrasion-ablation model. Large experimental enhancements are obtained for high-spin isomers in comparison to expected values.", optnote="WOS:000320745400005", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1502), last updated on Mon, 26 Aug 2013 12:02:31 +0000", issn="0370-2693", doi="10.1016/j.physletb.2013.05.033", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2013.05.033", language="English" }
