Lifetimes were measured for transitions in the superdeformed band of {sup 192}Hg with the Doppler-shift attenuation method. The results yield an essentially constant quadrupole moment of 20{plus minus}2 {ital e} b and indicate that the sidefeeding lifetimes are of the same order as the state lifetimes. The data are consistent with calculations using the cranked Woods-Saxon Strutinsky method with pairing.
