Title: Excitation energies and spins of a superdeformed band in {sup 194}{ital H}{ital g} from one-step discrete decays to the yrast line

Journal Article · · Physical Review Letters

Discrete {gamma} rays directly connecting states of a superdeformed (SD) band in {sup 194}Hg to the yrast states have been discovered. Thus, the excitation energies and spins of all members of the lowest SD band are established for the first time, together with their likely parity. The SD band decays from its 10{sup +} and 12{sup +} states, which lie 4204.8 and 4407.4 keV above the normal-deformed yrast states of the same spins. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
