Abstract
A new superdeformed band has been discovered in a EUROBALL
experiment and assigned to 143Eu. It has a maximum intensity of 35
of
the 143Eu yrast superdeformed band and the transition energies of the two
bands are very similar. Based on comparison with cranked shell model
calculations the new band is tentatively assigned the high-N intruder
configuration
and the parity and signature quantum numbers
.
In addition to the already known high-energy
transition at 3361 keV another discrete line at 2715 keV was found to be in
coincidence with the yrast superdeformed band. However, it was not possible to
connect the decay out of either of the superdeformed bands to known normally
deformed states.
