Abstract

A new superdeformed band has been identified in ${}^{191}{Hg}$ bringing the total number of bands observed in this nucleus to four. The new band has properties similar to those of a superdeformed band reported recently in ${}^{193}{Hg}$ . Both bands are believed to be built on the unfavored signature of the $j_{15 / 2}$ intruder configuration. Comparisons between the data and cranked Woods-Saxon calculations highlight the strengths and weaknesses of theory in describing high-N orbitals at large deformation.
