Population of superdeformed bands at extreme angular momenta
Abstract
A study of superdeformed band population at very high angular momenta was undertaken with the reactions 76Ge+76Ge and 28Si+124Sn. Both reactions formed the compound nucleus 152Gd at an excitation energy of 87 MeV. Relative to normally deformed states, the yrast superdeformed band in the residual nucleus 147Gd was found to be populated 4.6±0.2 times more strongly for the mass-symmetric reaction compared to the mass-asymmetric reaction. Such a …
