Studies of superdeformation in the gadolinium nuclei
Abstract
We have used the 8π γ-ray spectrometer at the Chalk River TASCC facility to study superdeformed rotational bands in the chain of isotopes 145–149Gd. The five bands already known have been extended to higher spin, while four new excited bands have been discovered. The use of very similar reactions, data-acquisition parameters and data-analysis techniques, combined with the enlarged set of data, has allowed us for the first time to approach the …
