Information on superdeformed nuclear bands and fission isomers have been updated on a continuous basis since 1992. As of July 2002, data for about 320 superdeformed bands and 47 fission isomers identified in 146 nuclides have been compiled for this publication. This is an increase of about 160 superdeformed bands and 53 nuclides since the second edition in 1996 [B. Singh, R.B. Firestone, and S.Y.F. Chu, Nuclear Data Sheets 78, 1 (1996)].
