Collective rotation of an oblate nucleus at very high spin

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ¹⁰⁰Mo(⁴⁰Ar, X), E=152 MeV; measured Eγ, Iγ, γγ-coin using the JUROGAM II array at the University of Jyvaskyla. ¹³⁷Nd; deduced levels, J, π, extremely regular rotational band, highly-deformed band and a triaxial band, antimagnetic rotational band, alignments; calculated deformation trajectories, potential energy surfaces, and single particle Routhians for different bands using Cranked mean-field calculations of the Nilsson-Strutinsky type.
