The highest-spin discrete states (I ∼ 60ℏ and Ex ∼ 30MeV) in normal deformed nuclei have been observed in the rare-earth isotope 156Dy using the GAMMASPHERE spectrometer. The quadrupole moments for a variety of configurations, including the 9/2+[404] (g9/2) proton, 1/2+[660] (i13/2) and 1/2-[541] (f7/2, h9/2) neutron orbitals, were measured in a wide range of ∼ 130 nuclei.
