F. Hannachi et al., OBSERVATION OF THE SINGLE-STEP LINKS OF THE YRAST SUPERDEFORMED BAND IN PB-194, ZEITSCHRIFT FUR PHYSIK A-HADRONS AND NUCLEI, 358(2), 1997, pp. 183-184
The EUROGAM array has been used to investigate the decay out of the yr
ast superdeformed (SD) band in Pb-194. Eigth single step decays from t
he lowest observed SD states to low-lying states at normal deformation
(ND) have been identified. From this observation, the excitation ener
gy (4877 +/- 1.5 keV) and the spin (6(+)) of the lowest observed SD st
ate in Pb-194 are established.
