Abstract

High-spin states were populated in [Formula Presented] using the [Formula Presented] reaction at beam energies of 120 and 125 MeV. We have observed three new, weakly populated, regularly spaced rotational bands, one with an energy spacing of [Formula Presented] keV and two with a spacing of [Formula Presented] keV. These bands are compared with similar structures in neighboring nuclei. The experimental data are also compared with total Routhian surface and cranked Woods-Saxon calculations. The band with the narrower energy spacing is assigned as a highly deformed structure with a [Formula Presented] configuration relative to the [Formula Presented] shell gap at a deformation of [Formula Presented] The remaining two structures are thought to result from triaxial configurations with [Formula Presented] and [Formula Presented]
