Abstract
Using the angular momentum projection approach with the -depressing parameter in the Nilsson model reduced by 15%, the band heads of the , , and bands in are calculated to lie at 1221, 1426, and 1823 keV, respectively, in good agreement with recent experimental data. An additional low-lying band with a band head at 1966 keV is also predicted. A general criterion for the existence of a low-lying excited band is described and invoked to substantiate the calculated results.
