Abstract
High-spin states have been studied in neutron-deficient , produced in the reaction, using the Gammasphere -ray spectrometer in conjunction with the Microball charged-particle detector array, Three new, weakly populated rotational bands have been found, which are believed to be associated with a superdeformed (second minimum) prolate shape. Comparison of the properties of these bands with Woods-Saxon cranking calculations suggests that they are built upon negative-parity neutron configurations that involve only one intruder orbital () from the shell. One of the bands has been linked into the normally deformed states allowing an estimation of the spin, parity, and excitation energy of the band.
