Decay from a superdeformed band inPb194

Abstract
Three experiments using the Yb174(Mg25, 5n)Pb194 reaction have been undertaken at the Early Implementation of Gammasphere to study the decay of known superdeformed states in Pb194. A single discrete transition with an energy of 2.746(2) MeV carrying 6(2)% of the full superdeformed band intensity has been identified. A discussion of our results and the assignment of the 2.746-MeV transition as a discrete γ ray directly connecting the superdeformed 8+ and low-lying 6+ levels will be presented.
