Properties of superdeformed bands in 153Dy

Physics Letters B, Volume 346, No. 3-4, Year 1995

Two new superdeformed (SD) bands in 153Dy, in addition to the three previously observed, have been studied with the GAMMASPHERE detector array. Assignments to single-neutron orbits in the SD potential are made based on the band properties. Evidence for a band interaction at very high spins, possibly involving the first N = 7 proton intruder orbital, is observed in the strongest populated SD band. Furthermore, evidence for a ΔI = 2 staggering is also found in this SD band. © 1995.
