Abstract

We present experimental results on the ground-state bands of heavy even-even nuclei produced in the primary fission of ${}^{252}{Cf}$ . Experimental values for the energy levels and lifetimes range from those typical of spherical nuclei to those associated with permanently deformed nuclei.
