Combined data from four fusion-evaporation reaction experiments were utilized to investigate deformed and superdeformed structures in {sub 30}{sup 62}Zn{sub 32}. Combination of the Gammasphere {gamma}-ray spectrometer and ancillary particle detection systems allowed for the connection of rotational bands to well-known, low-lying excited states in {sup 62}Zn, as well as spectroscopy of discrete high-spin states reaching excitation energies of E{sub x}=42.5 MeV. Four well- or superdeformed bands in {sup 62}Zn are characterized and described by means of cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations.
