LIFETIME MEASUREMENTS OF NORMALLY DEFORMED AND SUPERDEFORMED STATES IN SR-82

Lifetimes of a superdeformed band in Sr-82 were measured with the cent roid shift method. The measured average quadrupole moment of this band corresponds to a quadrupole deformation of beta(2) approximate to 0.4 9, which is slightly smaller than both the theoretical prediction, and the measured deformation of the SD band in the neighboring isotone Zr -84. Lifetimes of high spin states of three normally deformed rotation al bands in Sr-82 were also measured with the Doppler shift attenuatio n method technique. The quadrupole moments of these normally deformed bands show a decrease at the highest spins, supporting the predicted b and terminations.
