Thesis. Sources of /sup 139/Xe and /sup 139/Cs were produced at the TRISTAN online isotope separator. With the aid of Ge(Li) singles and Ge(Li)Ge(Li) coincidence measurements, level schemes were constructed for /sup 139/Cs and /sup 139/Ba. In the /sup 139/Cs level scheme 193 of 220 obs erved transitions, constituting more than 98% of the gamma-ray intensity, were placed among 50 excited levels. In the /sup 139/Ba level scheme there are 82 excited levels, among which are placed 161 of 177 observed gamma-ray transitions. These transitions account for more than 98% of the observed gamma-ray intensity. The Q values for the beta decays of /sup 139/Xe and /sup 139/Cs were measured by using a Ge(Li) -plastic scintillator coincidence arrangement. For /sp 139/Xe the measured Q value is 4.88 plus or minus 0.06 MeV, and for /sup 139/Cs the measured Q value is 4.29 plus or minus 0.07 MeV. Spin and parity assignments were made with the help of calculated log-ft values and angular momentum transfer in stripping reactions, where available. An attempt was made to interpret some of the levels in terms of the shell model. (18 figures, 11 tables) (auth)
