High-spin states have been studied in neutron-deficient {sup 132}Nd, produced in the {sup 105}Pd({sup 35}Cl,{alpha}{ital p}3{ital n}{gamma}) reaction, using the Gammasphere {gamma}-ray spectrometer in conjunction with the Microball charged-particle detector array. Three new, weakly populated rotational bands have been found, which are believed to be associated with a superdeformed (second minimum) prolate shape. Comparison of the properties of these bands with Woods-Saxon cranking calculations suggests that they are built upon negative-parity neutron configurations that involve only one intruder orbital ({nu}{ital i}{sub 13/2}) from the {ital N}=6 shell. One of the bands has been linked into the normally deformed states allowing an estimation of the spin, parity, and excitation energy of the band. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
