Abstract

A controversy has arisen over the existence, or not, of a superdeformed rotational band in192Pb. We have carried out an experiment using the168Er(3OSi, 6n)192Pb reaction at 159 MeV and have observed the coincidentγ rays in the EUROGAM 2 spectrometer. We confirm the original result of Henry et al. that a superdeformed band exists in192Pb.
