Abstract

γ-γ transition energy correlation measurements were performed in 148Gd using Compton-suppressed Ge detectors. A broad first ridge was observed for 1.00<Eγ<1.42 MeV. The deduced moment of inertia I(2)=78 h ℏ2MeV- is consistent with superdeformation in 148Gd. The results can be explained by cranked Strutinsky calculations.
