Abstract
The nucleus Pt-185, which has a strongly deformed ground state and num erous low-lying rotational bands, is shown to possess low-lying excite d states which are nonrotational. This is demonstrated through the abs ence of rotational excitations associated with two low-spin (J=3/2;5/2 ) states at excitations between 500 and 600 keV. The implications of t hese observations for shape changes and shape coexistence in this regi on are discussed.
