Abstract: We have perfomed calculations for the six rotational bands in 178Hf which have been found experimentally by using triaxial projected shell model (TPSM). The γ band can be well reproduced with γ=22°. By using the same γ value, the present calculations predict a γ-band built on 178m2Hf(16+) state, and its band head (I=14+)lies about 900keV above the 178m2Hf(16+) state. This 14+ state should be rather easily excited from the 16+ isomeric state because of the same intrinsic configuration of these two states. It is hope that the 14+ state could have more probable chance to decay into the ground state band than that from the 178m2Hf(16+) state, and then to realize the de-excitation of the isomeric state.
