Monte Carlo mixing simulation of the decay out of superdeformed bands in Hg-194 - art. no. 061302

A simple two level mixing model is employed to perform a Monte Carlo simula tion for the decay out of the superdeformed bands SD-1 and SD-3 in Hg-194. A, exponential spin dependence of the interaction between superdeformed and normally deformed states is applied. Average intraband intensities and tra nsition quadrupole moments are determined at each spin. The simple two leve l mixing approach is consistent with more sophisticated theoretical models. The Monte Carlo approach allows one to determine probabilities for the rep roduction of the experimental intensity patterns and transition quadrupole moments. An interaction of nu approximate to 50.5 eV was determined for spi n 12 (h) over bar in the yrast SD band. The results show that the decay out of the yrast and excited SD bands in Hg-194 can be described with the same spin dependent interaction.
