Vertical equivalent for \overbrace and \underbrace
One way to do it:
\left.
\begin{array}{rrr}
a\\
a\\
a\\
a\\
a
\end{array}
\right\}\text{Segment a}
Output:
EDIT:
I see, in your case, you will want to use bigdelim
package, for example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multirow,bigdelim}
\begin{document}
\[
\begin{array}{cc}
a&\rdelim\}{5}{1em}[Segment a]\\
a\\
a\\
a\\
a\\
b&\rdelim\}{5}{1em}[Segment b]\\
b\\
b\\
b\\
b\\
\end{array}
\]
\end{document}
will give you:
Improving the @Francis's code, you can use two rows with two blocks.
\[
\begin{array}{r}
\left. \begin{array}{r}
a\\
a\\
a\\
a\\
a
\end{array}
\right\}\text{Segment a} \\
\left. \begin{array}{r}
b\\
b\\
b\\
b\\
b
\end{array}
\right\}\text{Segment b}
\end{array}
\]
Another way using the rcases
environment from mathtools
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\begin{document}
\noindent
$
\begin{rcases}
a\\a\\a\\a\\a
\end{rcases}
\text{Segment A}
$\\
$
\begin{rcases}
b\\b\\b\\b\\b
\end{rcases}
\text{Segment B}
$
\end{document}
