The level structures of the doubly-odd nuclei /sup 136/Pm and /sup 134/Pr have been studied to high spin following the reactions /sup 114/Cd(/sup 27/Al,5n)/sup 136/Pm, /sup 116/Sn(/sup 24/Mg,p3n)/sup 136/Pm, and /sup 114/Cd(/sup 27/Al,..cap alpha..3n)/sup 134/Pr. The two nuclei show very similar collective features. In both nuclei a rotational band built on the ..pi..h/sub 11/2/x..nu..h/sub 11/2/ configuration has been observed. This band shows a constant signature splitting of approx.50 keV with no backbend in both cases. In addition, a sideband built on the ..pi..(413)(5/2/sup +/x..nu..h/sub 11/2/ configuration has been observed in /sup 136/Pm. This band becomes yrast at high spins and shows a gain in alignment of approx.8h-dash-bar at a frequency of h-dash-bar..omega..approx.0.28 MeV due to the decoupling of a pair of h/sub 11/2/ protons. In /sup 134/Pr the sideband was only observed above the band crossing. Experimental ratios of reduced transition probabilities, B(M1)/B(E2), have been extracted from transitions within the bands and compared to theoretical values obtained from a semiclassical model.
