Abstract
Two main shortcomings of the cranking model in band crossing regions, namely the possible occurrence of discontinuities and the strongly varying angular momentum fluctuations, are investigated. It is found that because of these drawbacks the reliability of the cranking approximation in regions of band crossing is more than doubtful, and that even the suggestions to overcome the difficulties by including the so-called physical parts of the 2qp trajectory do not improve the situation, at least as far as the wave functions are considered.
