    Abstract

    The doubly magic superdeformed band in the N = Z nucleus 60Zn has been identified. Linking transitions connecting this band to the yrast line provide the first spin, parity, and excitation energy measurements for superdeformed states in the A˜60 region. The stretched- E2 character and relatively large B(E2) values of these transitions suggest a nonstatistical decay-out process.
