Characterization of the superdeformed band in189Hg

Zeitschrift für Physik A Hadrons and Nuclei

Abstract

Much improved data on the superdeformed band in189Hg have been obtained in the study of the160Gd(34S, 5n) reaction at 165 MeV. Energies of ten intraband transitions have now been determined and the decay into the yrast line has been delineated. A discussion of probable spins for the189Hg superdeformed band raises questions about proposed procedures for assigning spins to superdeformed states.
