Abstract
Second minimum structures have been observed for the first time in the doubly odd nucleus Pr. Two new bands are interpreted as based on the configuration and a third as the configuration. Signature splitting effects observed in the bands provide new information regarding the positive parity proton orbitals at large deformation. Results from the extracted ratios are consistent with a large deformation for the bands.
