Abstract
Multiple band structures in are established from -ray spectroscopic measurements with Gammasphere at the Argonne Fragment Mass Analyzer. The yrast band, based on the proton, confirms the predicted drop in excitation energy of the prolate deformed band head as compared to the heavier isotopes. The implications for the prolate energy minimum in odd-mass Au nuclei beyond the neutron midshell are discussed.
