Abstract

High-spin states have been studied in neutron-deficient ¹³²Nd, produced in the ¹⁰⁵Pd(³⁵Cl,αp3nγ) reaction, using the Gammasphere γ-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 (vi_13/2) from the N=6 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.
