Abstract

The decay out of superdeformed, rotational bands is studied in terms of the spreading of the superdeformed strength on states corresponding to normal configurations. The mixing of the superdeformed state depends on the tunneling through the potential energy barrier separating the two shapes. Simple, yet accurate estimates of the decay probability are presented in terms of the transmission coefficient of the barrier, and the electromagnetic width and level density of the normal states.
