The focus of this talk will be on high-spin spectroscopy of neutron-rich
nuclei with 94<Z<98, accessed via inelastic and transfer reactions,
using heavy stable beams on radioactive targets. These complement
spectroscopic investigations of elements with 100<Z<104 using
fusion-evaporation reactions. The physics of the highest neutron
orbitals at and beyond N=150 will be discussed. Valence orbitals here
can originate from above the spherical shell gaps that are believed to
be responsible for the stability of superheavy elements. Thus, a precise
mapping of single particle states in this deformed region can provide
guidance and constraints for theories that attempt to predict the next
higher spherical magic numbers.
