Abstract

It is proposed that the differences in superdeformed band population observed in recent experiments result from a modification of the compound-nucleus angular momentum distribution due to the presence of low-lying vibrational states in the projectile and/or target nuclei. To test this hypothesis the nucleus ¹³⁵Nd was studied with the reactions ⁷⁴Ge + ⁶⁴ Ni and ²⁶Mg + ¹¹²Cd. The ⁷⁴ Ge-induced reaction was found to preferentially populate high-spin states, including superdeformed states. Statistical-model calculations are consistent with the present observations provided coupled-channel effects are taken into account.
