We present the results of a {gamma}{gamma} angular correlation experiment investigating the nucleus {sup 196}Hg and compare these with a theoretical description of {sup 196}Hg within the U{sub {nu}}(6/12) x U{sub {pi}}(6/4) extended supersymmetry. To populate excited {sup 196}Hg states, we used the Cologne FN Tandem accelerator inducing the reaction {sup 194}Pt({alpha},2n){sup 196}Hg and analyzed the {gamma} decays of levels up to an excitation energy of 2.4 MeV with the HORUS cube spectrometer. The new results on this mercury isotope allow a comparison between the experimental data and the supersymmetrical predictions and show good agreement. This way we can add {sup 196}Hg as a fifth supermultiplet member to the so-called magical quartet consisting of {sup 194,195}Pt and {sup 195,196}Au.
