Abstract
The neutron-deficient nucleus [Formula Presented] was studied via the [Formula Presented] reaction at a beam energy of [Formula Presented]. Previously known bands were extended to a much higher spin, and in two cases the structures are now observed near [Formula Presented]. In addition, three new sequences were identified and linked into previously known bands. The lowest [Formula Presented] structure displays characteristics similar to those of analogous bands in [Formula Presented], which have been proposed as examples of smooth band termination. Cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations were compared with the experimental data in [Formula Presented] to determine whether this band is approaching a terminating state as well.
