Abstract
A high-spin rotational band was observed in the nucleus with moment of inertia and decay characteristics very similar to recently discovered sequences in . These latter structures were discussed in terms of strongly deformed triaxial bands. Detailed cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations were performed that predict that well-deformed triaxial structures are also expected at high spin in . Within this interpretation the observed discontinuity in the dynamic moment of inertia around MeV can be explained as a crossing between neutron levels.
