Abstract
Delta l = 4 bifurcation has been observed in two superdeformed bands, the newly discovered yrast superdeformed band of (EU)-E-148, and a pre viously known excited band in Gd-148. Both of these bands have moments of inertia that are identical to the yrast band of Gd-149, the first superdeformed band in which this bifurcation was observed. This first observation of Delta I = 4 bifurcation in identical superdeformed band s provides a crucial test of recent models.
