Excitation Energies and Spins of the Yrast Superdeformed Band in ^{191}Hg
The excitation energies and spins of the levels in the yrast superdeformed band of $^{191}$Hg have been determined from two single-step $γ$ transitions and the quasi-continuum spectrum connecting the superdeformed and normal-deformed states. The results are compared with those from theoretical mean-field calculations with different interactions. A discussion of pairing in superdeformed states is also included.
