Description

The high-spin spectrum of /sup 84/Zr is studied using the Strutinsky-Bogolyubov cranking model with a Woods-Saxon average potential. Calculations explain observed irregularities in the /sup 84/Zr yrast line in terms of band crossings involving aligned g/sub 9/2/ proton and neutron bands. A transition to the superdeformed shape is predicted to occur around I∼30h. Experimental data are consistent with the nucleus having a well deformed (β2≅0.3) and triaxial (γ≅-200) shape
