Abstract

A superdeformed band has been observed for the first time in an Au isotope. The reaction used was B11 + W186, demonstrating that very light ions can be used to populate superdeformed (SD) bands at high angular momentum. The band is assigned to Au191. The γ-ray energies are at the quarter-point energies of the Hg192 SD band, indicating that it is ‘‘identical’’ to that of 192 Hg.
