F. Farget et al., SUPERDEFORMED QUASI-CONTINUUM FEEDING OF THE SUPERDEFORMED YRAST BANDIN CE-132, Physical review. C. Nuclear physics, 58(1), 1998, pp. 150-155
A superdeformed (SD) quasicontinuum in Ce-132 is experimentally charac
terized from rotational ridges in gamma-gamma correlation matrices. Ev
idence for a partial feeding of the SD yrast rotational band through h
ighly deformed states is given. The evolution of the rotational transi
tion strength as a function of the angular frequency is shown. A weak
rotational damping is inferred.
