Quite a few superdeformed bands in the mass regions of 150 as well as 190,
having different trends in the dynamic moments of inertia with increasing a
ngular momentum, are studied in a simple version of the particle-rotor mode
l. Transition energies, dynamic, and kinematic moments of inertia have been
calculated. A reasonably good agreement with the experimental data justifi
es the application of this version of the model in the new regime of nuclea
r structure. Electromagnetic moments calculated within the same model also
agree with the experimental results. The role of high-j intruder orbitals i
n the structure of the superdeformed bands in both the regions has been rei
nvestigated. [S0556-2813(99)01412-0].
