Excitation energies of superdeformed States in 196Pb: towards a systematic study of the second well in Pb isotopes.

The excitation energy of the lowest-energy superdeformed band in 196Pb is established using the techniques of time-correlated gamma-ray spectroscopy. Together with previous measurements on 192Pb and 194Pb, this result allows superdeformed excitation energies, binding energies, and two-proton and two-neutron separation energies to be studied systematically, providing stringent tests for current nuclear models. The results are examined for evidence of a "superdeformed shell gap."

Octupole vibration in superdeformed 152(66)Dy86.

Nine transitions of dipole character have been identified linking an excited superdeformed (SD) band in 152Dy to the yrast SD band. As a result, the excitation energy of the lowest level in the excited SD band has been measured to be 14 238 keV. This corresponds to a 1.3 MeV excitation above the SD ground state. The levels in this band have tentatively been determined to be of negative parity and odd spin. The measured properties are consistent with an interpretation in terms of a rotational band built on a collective octupole vibration.

Direct decay from the superdeformed band to the yrast line in 15266Dy86.

The excitation energy, spin, and parity of the yrast superdeformed band in 152Dy have been firmly established. The evidence comes mainly from the measured properties of a 4011 keV single-step transition connecting the yrast superdeformed level fed by the 693 keV transition to the 27- yrast state. Four additional, weaker, linking gamma rays have been placed as well. The excitation energy of the lowest superdeformed band member is 10 644 keV and its spin and parity are determined to be 24+.

Linear polarization measurement of interband transitions in superdeformed 190hg: model-independent evidence for octupole vibrational structures.

The linear polarization of gamma rays between excited and yrast superdeformed (SD) states in 190Hg was measured using the four-element CLOVER detectors of the EUROBALL IV gamma-ray spectrometer. This measurement shows in a model-independent way that the interband transitions which compete with the highly collective in-band quadrupole transitions are largely enhanced electric dipoles. Not only do these results represent the first measurement of the multipolarity of transitions between different SD states, but they also provide strong evidence for the interpretation of the structures in the SD minimum of the A approximately 190 region in terms of octupole excitations.
