Abstract: Neutron-rich nuclei of {sup 153,155}Nd were studied from the spontaneous fission of {sup 252}Cf. Eleven and nine new {gamma} transitions were identified in {sup 153}Nd and {sup 155}Nd, respectively. Rotational bands with the configurations of {nu}5/2[642] and {nu}3/2[521] were identified in {sup 153}Nd and {sup 155}Nd, respectively. Excited states and {gamma} transitions in {sup 155}Nd are reported for the first time here.
