Abstract
The level structure of 14060Nd80 has been established up to spin 48 by in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy using the 96Zr(48Ca, 4n) reaction. High-fold γ-ray coincidences were measured with the EUROBALL spectrometer. Twelve new rotational bands have been discovered at high spins, showing the change from a spherical single-particle behaviour at low spins to a deformed regime with stable triaxiality at high spins. Possible configurations are assigned to the observed bands on the basis of configuration-dependent cranked Nilsson–Strutinsky calculations.
