The new {gamma}-ray detector arrays have demonstrated that rotational sequences in certain superdeformed bands with angular momentum differing by two can split into two branches. This is commonly called {Delta}I = 4 bifurcation, and has attracted considerable interest in the nuclear structure community. An alternative approach for the {Delta}I = 4 bifurcation phenomenon has been presented without introducing either a Y{sub 44} deformation or an I{sup 4} term in the Hamiltonian explicitly. The optimal criteria for observing the phenomenon have been discussed as well.
