Abstract
The approximate-projection method of Das Gupta and Van-Ginneken is extended to include the calculation of the decoupling parameter for bands. The method is tested on the first positive- and negative-parity bands of and is found to give good results even when the strong-coupling model seems to fail. The validity of the formula for the decoupling parameter given by the strong-coupling model is explored.
