The nucleus Ge-68 has been studied by gamma-ray spectroscopy following its
population at high spin in the reaction Ca-40(S-32,4p) Ge-68. The reaction
channel was selected with the Microball array and gamma rays were detected
with the Gammasphere array. The level scheme is very complex, reflecting th
e many different, and presumably mixed, excitation modes in this nucleus. N
evertheless, there appear to be some simplifications in the spin range abov
e 18 (h) over bar where we have identified a superdeformed band and several
terminating bands. The results are compared with a cranked Nilsson-Strutin
sky model without pairing.
