The level scheme of (193)Au has been extended up to I(pi)=55/2(+). New transitions were observed also in (191)Au and (192)Pt. Particle-plus-Triaxial-Rotor (PTR) and Total Routhian Surface (TRS) calculations were performed to determine the equilibrium deformations of the Au isotopes. The predictions for oblate deformations in these nuclei are in agreement with the experimental data. Development of nonaxial shapes is discussed within the framework of the PTR model.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessArticle76410.1103/PhysRevC.76.0443152-s2.0-35548948344N/AWOS:000250620900030Q1
