High-spin structure in [Formula Presented]

High-spin states were studied in [Formula Presented] and resulted in the identification of several new prolate rotational bands based on [Formula Presented] [Formula Presented] and [Formula Presented] configurations. The alignment and moment of inertia features of the intruder bands are compared with ground-state bands in Pt nuclei. From these features, it can be concluded that a strongly interacting [Formula Presented] alignment is occurring in the [Formula Presented] bands in Au and the ground-state bands in Pt. In addition, bandhead energies and deformation parameters are calculated for deformed configurations in the framework of a microscopic-macroscopic shell-correction model. These calculations are compared with experimental values in Re and Ir, as well as, Au isotopes. Interaction properties between known [Formula Presented] and [Formula Presented] rotational bands are also discussed and compared with results from a cranked-shell model. Experimental [Formula Presented] ratios between these bands are compared with results from a particle-rotor calculation.
