Abstract
We study nuclear high-spin states undergoing the transition to the fully stretched configuration with maximum angular momentum I{sub max} within the space of valence nucleons. To this end, we perform a systematic theoretical analysis of non-fully-stretched I{sub max}-2 and I{sub max}-1 f{sub 7/2}{sup n} seniority isomers and d{sub 3/2}{sup -1}f{sub 7/2}{sup n + 1} intruder states in the A{approx}44 nuclei from the lower-fp shell. We employ two theoretical approaches: (i) the density functional theory based on the cranked self-consistent Skyrme-Hartree-Fock method, and (ii) the nuclear shell model in the full sdfp configuration space allowing for 1p-1h cross-shell excitations. We emphasize the importance of restoration of broken angular momentum symmetry inherently obscuring the mean-field treatment of high-spin states. Overall good agreement with experimental data is obtained.
