[en] The electromagnetic decay properties of high spin states in ⁵²Mn have been carried out with the GASP and EUROBALL arrays combined with the charged-particle detector ISIS and the Neutron-Wall. From the coincidence measurements in these experiments new high spin states were placed in the ⁵²Mn level scheme. In a recent experiment performed at the on-line mass separator at GSI, the decay properties of the 12⁺ yrast trap in ⁵²Fe have been investigated. Two E4 gamma branches to the 8⁺ states in ⁵²Fe have been observed for the first time and the beta decay into high spin states in ⁵²Mn has been revisited. (author)
