Abstract : Collinear laser spectroscopy was performed on Ga (Z=31) isotopes at ISOLDE, CERN. A gas-filled linear Paul trap (ISCOOL) was used to extend measurements towards very neutron-rich isotopes (N=36–50). A ground state (g.s.) spin I=1/2 is measured for 73Ga, being near degenerate with a 3/2- isomer (75  eV≲Eex≲1  keV). The 79Ga g.s., with I=3/2, is dominated by protons in the πf5/2 orbital and in 81Ga the 5/2- level becomes the g.s. The data are compared to shell-model calculations in the f5/2pg9/2 model space, calling for further theoretical developments and new experiments.
