The high-spin structure of the nucleus ${}^{133}\mathrm{Nd}$ has been studied with the GASP array using the ${}^{104}\mathrm{Pd}{(}^{32}\mathrm{S},2pn)$ and ${}^{105}\mathrm{Pd}{(}^{32}\mathrm{S},2p2n)$ reactions. The observed levels have been organized into nine rotational bands including the well-known highly deformed band which has been linked to the states at normal deformation. The bands, which have been classified as being built on different Nilsson orbitals, are discussed in the framework of the interacting boson fermion, particle-plus-triaxial rotor, and cranked shell models.
