Abstract
High-spin states in Nb-85 were studied using the GAMMASPHERE Ge detector ar ray and the MICROBALL charged-particle detector system. Three gamma-ray cas cades with collective rotational characteristics were observed. One of the bands exhibits a forking at the top, most likely reflecting the termination of one branch into a favoured non-collective, near spherical state. The da ta are interpreted in terms of cranked Strutinsky-type calculations. (C) 19 99 Elsevier Science B.V.
