Description

Three experiments using the 174Yb(25Mg,5n)194Pb reaction have been undertaken at the Early Implementation of GAMMASPHERE to study the decay of known superdeformed states in 194Pb. A single discrete transition with an energy of 2.746(2) MeV carrying 6(2)% of the full superdeformed band intensity has been identified. A discussion of our results and the assignment of the 2.746-MeV transition as a discrete γ ray directly connecting the superdeformed 8+ and low-lying 6+ levels will be presented. copyright 1996 The American Physical Society
