A superdeformed band has been observed for the first time in an Au isotope. The reaction used was [sup 11]B + [sup 186]W, demonstrating that very light ions can be used to populate superdeformed (SD) bands at high angular momentum. The band is assigned to [sup 191]Au. The [gamma]-ray energies are at the quarter-point energies of the [sup 192]Hg SD band, indicating that it is identical'' to that of [sup 192] Hg.
