Abstract
A pair of rotational bands with 9 and 11 discrete rays with a regular spacing of about 29 keV extending from 1016 to 1340 keV have been identified as belonging to . Evidence from their population, decay characteristics, very large dynamic moments of inertia of , and agreement with theoretical predictions support the hyperdeformed character of these bands. These band structures correspond to a spheroid with major-to-minor axis ratio of about 3:1.
