High-spin states in Kr-79 were studied via the fusion evaporation reac
tion Mn-55(Si-30, alpha pn) at 130MeV. Prompt gamma gamma gamma-charge
d particle coincidences were made using the GASP array in conjunction
with the Delta E-E Si(Au) charged particle ball. Nine new states were
found, along with 10 new transitions in the K-pi = 5-/2 band. The favo
red (alpha=+1/2) and unfavored (alpha=-1/2) signature sequences were e
xtended up to states of (37-/2) 8992 keV and (59-/2) 20132 keV, respec
tively. A cranked shell-model analysis has been made to discuss the ex
perimental results.
