High-spin states in and around doubly-magic nuclei

The study of high-spin states in regions of doubly-magic nuclei performed with the use of deep-inelastic heavy ion reactions is reviewed. New and tentative results concerning high-spin states in the 48Ca and yrast structures in 47Ca, 47K, 49Ca and 49Sc isotopes are presented. The status of the high-spin state study in the region of 132Sn and 208Pb is outlined, including discussion of recently obtained results in the 208Pb core and the 206Hg two-proton-hole nucleus.
