Abstract
The γ decay of excited states built on the superdeformed shape isomer 240 f Pu was measured for the first time with an array of EUROBALL CLUSTER detectors in coincidence with delayed fission decays using the 238U( α,2n) reaction. The strongest γ transitions can be assigned to the out-of-band decays of three excited superdeformed rotational sequences: A K π =2 − and K π =1 −(2 −) band with respective bandhead energies of 806.2 keV and 836.0 (846.8) keV decaying to the ground state band of 240 f Pu, and a K π =2(1) band at 1360.9 (1344) keV populating mainly the K π =2 − (806.2 keV) band.
