Very extended shapes in the A {approximately} 110 region.

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.
High-angular-momentum states in {sup 108}Cd were populated via the {sup 64}Ni({sup 48}Ca,4n) reaction at a beam energy of 207 MeV. Gamma rays were detected using the Gammasphere array. A rotational band has been observed with a dynamic moment of inertia and deduced lower limit of the quadrupole moment suggesting a major-to-minor axis ratio larger than 1.8:1, placing it among the most deformed structures identified in any nucleus, to date.
