High spin states in {sup 178}Os were studied by means of {sup 165}Ho({sup 20}Ne,p6n){sup 178}Os fusion evaporation reaction at a beam energy of 150 MeV, using a clover detector array. Several new transitions belonging to {sup 178}Os were placed in a level scheme and a new aligned rotational band was observed in addition to earlier known bands. Spin-parity assignments for most of the proposed levels were made using the deduced directional correlation orientation and polarization measurements for the de-exciting transitions. Experimental results are compared with the projected angular momentum deformed Hartree-Fock model calculations and cranked Woods-Saxon model calculations. This nucleus is predicted to be prolate deformed in the ground state but the {gamma}-softness at higher excitation is revealed by the cranked Woods-Saxon model and the geometrical asymmetric model calculations.
