Three experiments using the {sup 174}Yb({sup 25}Mg,5n) reaction at a beam energy of 130 MeV have been performed utilizing the Early Implementation of GAMMASPHERE. The goal of these experiments was to study the decay of the known superdeformed states in {sup 194}Pb to the normal low-lying levels in this nucleus. The statistical decay of these band appears to be suppressed with respect to its {sup 194}Hg isobar. A single discrete transition at 2.746(2) MeV in coincidence with both the superdeformed band and the normal states through which it decays has been identified in these experiments. The evidence for this transition and a discussion of its placement will be presented.
