Abstract
Rotational band with seven γ-ray transitions between states with spin 2ħ and 16ħ has been observed in the doubly magic, self-conjugate nucleus 4020Ca20. The measured transition quadrupole moment of 1.80+0.39−0.29eb indicates a superdeformed shape with a deformation β2 = 0.59+0.11−0.07. The features of this band are explained by cranked relativistic mean field calculations to arise from an 8-particle 8-hole excitation.
