Abstract: High-spin structures in 146Ce nucleus have been re-investigated by measuring the prompt γ rays from spontaneous fission of 252Cf. The previously reported level scheme of 146Ce has been updated. The octupole deformed collective bands have been extended up to higher spin states. A possible quasi-γ band structure was examined and reconstructed according to our data analysis. In addition, the reflection asymmetric shell model was applied to describe the octupole deformed bands in 146Ce, and the calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental data at lower spins.
