Collectivity of the superdeformed bands in 152Dy

  • 1. Science and Engineering Research Council, Daresbury Laboratory, Warrington WA4 4AD, United Kingdom

Description

The lifetimes of the γ rays in the collective rotational bands observed in the γ-ray continuum at very high spin 152Dy are shown to be less than 100 fs for energies above 0.90 +- 0.05 MeV. The corresponding B(E2) values are very enhanced and provide definite evidence that the rotational bands are associated with a superdeformed prolate structure in 152Dy
