Abstract
The results of in-beam investigations of excited states of 99Ru using the 98Mo($\alpha$, 3n) reaction are presented. Angular distributions of $\gamma$-rays and $\gamma$-$\gamma$ coincidences have been measured. Excited states have been identified up to an energy of E = 5603 keV and spin of I$^{\pi}$ = 31/2-. Mean lifetimes $\tau$ have been determined using the DSA method for eleven levels. Aligned angular momenta are discussed and the probable $(\nu h_{11/2})$ origin of a backbending at frequency about 0.5 MeV was confirmed. The possible role of $(\nu d_{5/2})$ alignment at frequencies above 0.5 MeV was pointed out.
