Fragmentation of the decay from the superdeformed yrast band in Hg-192.

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.
The decay-out spectrum of the superdeformed yrast band in {sup 192}Hg comprises a quasicontinuum, from which about 50 weak discrete transitions of energy between 1 and 3.2 MeV are resolved. The fluctuations of the one-dimensional quasicontinuum spectrum are studied with the fluctuation analysis method, which shows that of the order of a few thousand different transitions are available in the first step of the decay-out cascades. The experimental effective number of transitions is compared to schematic theoretical calculations.
