A spectroscopic investigation of the γ decays from excited states in 160 Er has been performed in order to study the changing structural properties exhibited from low spin up towards ultrahigh spin (I ∼ 60h). The nucleus 160 Er was populated by the reaction 116 Cd( 48 Ca,4nγ) at a beam energy of 215 MeV and resulting γ decays were studied using the Gammasphere spectrometer. New rotational structures and extensions to existing bands were observed, revealing a diverse range of quasiparticle

Three rotational bands that have the characteristics of strongly deformed triaxial structures are observed, marking a return to collectivity at even higher spin. The high spin data are interpreted within the framework of cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations.
