The odd-A neutron-rich members of this isotopic chain show typical patterns related to non-axially symmetric shapes, which are however less marked compared to even-A ones, pointing to a major contribution from vibrations. In the present paper we present results from a recent study focused on Cs148-150 beta-decay performed at the ISOLDE Decay Station equipped with fast-timing detectors. A detailed analysis of the measured decay half-lives and decay scheme of Ba-149 is presented, giving a first insight in the structure of this neutron-rich nucleus. %K beta decay %K exotic nuclei %K nuclear deformation %K ISOLDE %R 10.1088/1361-6471/aa6015 %U https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6471/aa6015 %P 054002-14pp
