Abstract The investigation of the odd-neutron nucleus235U and odd-proton nucleus237Np provides the possibility to study separately the alignment effects in thei 13/2 proton andj 15/2 neutron intruder states in the actinides. Using Coulomb excitation with208Pb projectiles we were able to extend the yrast bands up to the 57/2 levels in both cases. The experimental results consistently show — at least in the region of the rotational frequencies studied — the dominant role of thei 13/2 proton alignment, as well as the weakness of the interaction strength of thej 15/2 neutrons-configuration forN=144.
