Abstract: The superdeformed or highly deformed band terminations in 38K, 36Ar, 32,34S and 35Cl have been studied by the configuration dependent cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky approach. Some possible superdeformed band terminations were predicted, such as the π(d5/2)-2(f7/2)2⊙ν(d5/2)-2(f7/2)2([22,22]) configuration in 32S with deformation about ε2=0.61 and γ≈0° at spin I=0-10, especially the superdeformed band terminates at I=19 and about ε2=0.39 (with ε2=0.50 when I≤9) in 38K, and all of them are favorable for observation. The tendency of these bands in energy with spin increasing favors the band termination, so superdeformed bands terminating would be smooth. The calculated superdeformed band is in good agreement with observed one in 36Ar confirms that the calculated results are reliable.
