In a previous paper a semimicroscopic core-particle coupling method that includes the conventional strong coupling core-particle model as a limiting case was applied to spectra and electromagnetic properties of several well-deformed odd nuclei. This work coupled a large single particle space to the ground-state bands of the neighboring even cores. In this paper, we generalize the theory to include excited bands of the cores, such as β and γ bands, and thereby show that the resulting theory can account for the location and structure of all bands up to about 1.5 MeV. © 1996 The American Physical Society.
