Abstract
An experiment has been performed to search for superdeformed (SD) states in While no evidence for discrete superdeformed states has been observed, a superdeformed ridge with a separation of keV with a total intensity of that of has been observed. An upper limit of 0.8% (0.9%), of the intensity of is placed for observation of the most intense discrete line states. The relative weakness in the SD population is suggested to be due to a rapid decrease in the depth of the superdeformed minimum, as one moves away from doubly magic
