Four new superdeformed (SD) bands have been observed in {sup 147}Gd using the EUROGAM II spectrometer. By comparison with {sup 146,148,149}Gd SD bands, we use the effective alignment to assign excited band configurations, with the support of the Nilsson-Strutinsky cranking formalism. The effect of the crossing of the [642]5/2 and [651]1/2 neutron orbitals lying just below the magic {ital N}=86 SD shell gap has been investigated for the {sup 146,147,148}Gd bands. Evidence for the [411]1/2 orbital is also given. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
