Abstract

The transition quadrupole moments [Formula Presented] for the superdeformed band in [Formula Presented] have been determined through thin-target Doppler-shift attenuation analyses. A best-fit value of [Formula Presented] is obtained when a single value is assumed for the entire band. Fitting separate quadrupole moments for in-band transitions decaying from the high-spin states and the presumably admixed low-spin states results in [Formula Presented] and [Formula Presented] respectively. [Formula Presented] values extracted for individual transitions in a Doppler-broadened line-shape analysis also indicate smaller [Formula Presented] values at lower spins. These results are consistent with the interpretation of this band as an eight-particle–eight-hole superdeformed band with a significant admixture of less-collective configurations at low spins.
