Description

Both the quasi-continuum of γ rays as well as the ridges from the feeding (and decay) of superdeformed and normal bands have been extracted in the nucleus 152Dy. A model has been developed that simultaneously describes all these spectra as well as the feeding intensity of the superdeformed bands. Through the calculation of the continuum of γ rays at finite temperature, the rotational damping width in the normal and superdeformed wells are extracted. This is the first time the rotational damping width in a superdeformed well has been measured in the A∼150 mass region
