Abstract
Two-dimensional γ-ray energy correlations have been measured at high spins in with the anti-Compton spectrometer array OSIRIS. Pronounced ridges have been found consisting of stretched E2 transitions. The separation of the ridges gives a dynamical moment of inertia 2=(150±6)/MeV, suggesting a superdeformation with an axis ratio c/a=1.7 (≊0.6). The quadrupole moment of the superdeformed nucleus is e⋅b. .AE
