Abstract
Lifetimes of states in the yrast superdeformed bands of
163Lu and
164Lu were determined in a Doppler-shift
attenuation-method experiment. From fractional Doppler shifts and line
shapes, average transition quadrupole moments,
b and
7.1-0.6+0.5 b, were deduced for one
of the bands in
163Lu and
164Lu,
respectively. These values are much larger than the quadrupole moment
of the normal-deformed yrast band in
163Yb,
b, that was also determined in this experiment.
Comparison to cranking calculations indicates that both superdeformed
bands correspond to a local potential energy minimum with a pronounced
triaxiality,
