Abstract

Extremely large precession angles (0.24 rad) have been observed when Coulomb-excited, 2-MeV/A actinide recoils decelerate in ferromagnetic Gd. In both

{}^{232}{Th}

and

{}^{238}U

the

g

factors increase above spin

I = 18 ℏ

. This is the first direct evidence for rotation alignment of

i_{\frac{13}{2}}

protons in the actinides. In

{}^{232}{Th}

there is also evidence for alignment of

j_{\frac{15}{2}}

neutrons below

I = 16 ℏ
