Second minimum structures have been observed for the first time in the doubly odd nucleus {sub 59}{sup 132}Pr. Two new bands are interpreted as based on the {pi}g{sub 9/2}[404]9/2{circle_times}{nu}i{sub 13/2}[660]1/2 configuration and a third as the {pi}h{sub 11/2}[532]5/2{circle_times}{nu}i{sub 13/2}[660]1/2 configuration. Signature splitting effects observed in the {pi}(g{sub 9/2}){sup {minus}1} bands provide new information regarding the positive parity proton orbitals at large deformation. Results from the extracted B(M1)/B(E2) ratios are consistent with a large deformation for the {pi}(g{sub 9/2}){sup {minus}1} bands. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
