Abstract
An analogy is presented between periodic persistent currents in mesosc opic rings and staggerings of gamma energy transitions from some nucle ar high-spin states. Various sources of damping of the expected period ic structures in both physical systems are compared. This discussion p rovides, in the nuclear case, a tentative explanation of the scarcity of such staggerings, their appearance near Gd-150 and the existence of a spin-window for their observation.
