The [ital K][sub [alpha]]-x-ray yields associated with the superdeformed and normal-deformed bands in [sup 193]Hg have been measured. The results indicate an excess yield of [ital K][sub [alpha]]-x rays in coincidence with the superdeformed cascade relative to that in coincidence with the normal-deformed cascade. The internal conversion of known transitions along the superdeformed cascade cannot account for the observed [ital K][sub [alpha]]-x-ray yield. It is likely that this excess x-ray yield is associated with low-energy interband-[ital M]1 transitions competing with the low-spin superdeformed-[ital E]2 transitions.
