The decay out of the yrast and excited highly deformed (HD) bands in {sup 134}Nd has been investigated via the {sup 28}Si+{sup 110}Pd reaction at 130MeV using the GASP array. Several deexcitation pathways have been established for both the yrast and excited HD bands. The resulting spins remove previous ambiguities in the assignment of the excited HD band and confirm the structure assigned to the yrast HD band. The decay out is understood in terms of mixing between the normal-deformed and HD states, which is triggered by the crossing between the {nu}{ital i}{sub 13/2} and {nu}{ital d}{sub 5/2} orbitals. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
