L. Ducroux et al., CONFIRMATION OF THE EXISTENCE OF A SUPERDEFORMED ROTATIONAL BAND IN PB-192, ZEITSCHRIFT FUR PHYSIK A-HADRONS AND NUCLEI, 352(1), 1995, pp. 13-14
A controversy has arisen over the existence, or not, of a superdeforme
d rotational band in Pb-192. We have carried out an experiment using t
he Er-168(Si-30, 6n)Pb-192 reaction at 159 MeV and have observed the c
oincident gamma rays in the EUROGAM 2 spectrometer. We confirm the ori
ginal result of Henry et al. that a superdeformed band exists in Pb-19
2.
