Discrete-line transitions from superdeformed to yrast states in {sup 194}Hg and {sup 192}Hg

Conference ·
OSTI ID:459441

Discrete-line {gamma}-ray decay from superdeformed (SD) to yrast states in {sup 194,192}Hg has been studied with the Gammasphere spectrometer. The previously established decay for the yrast SD band of {sup 194}Hg has been characterized further. In addition, one-step decays have been observed for {sup 194}Hg SD band 3, which fixes the excitation energy and spin of the last observed level of this band at E* = 7.455 MeV, J = 11{Dirac_h}. So far no direct decays from superdeformed to yrast states have been observed in {sup 192}Hg or in {sup 194}Hg band 2, a result which is consistent with fluctuations of the transition strengths.
