Abstract

Superdeformed excitations in {sup 198}Po were studied using the {sup 174}Yb({sup 29}Si,5n) reaction and {gamma}-ray spectroscopy with Gammasphere. Energy-spin entry distributions for populating normal (ND) and superdeformed (SD) excitations were extracted by gating on discrete ND and SD transitions, respectively. Information on the SD excitation energy, SD well depth, and fission barrier in {sup 198}Po was deduced.
