Abstract: The configuration-dependent cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky model is used to study the band structures in 131La. Shape coexistence and band termination are investigated for several configurations. The calculations indicate that 131La is a γ-soft nucleus. The theoretical results are compared with experimental data. The calculated π(h11/2)2⊙ν(h11/2)8 configuration with (π,α)=(+,-1/2) shows very good agreement with the experimental band observed to highest spin. The termination of this band is not favored, i.e. a relatively large energy is required to build the highest spin states in the band.
