Abstract
From the observed competition between and transitions deexciting the states of the two signature partner yrast superdeformed bands in , the () intruder proton orbital is found to have . A model dependent value of is deduced. A saturation of the moments of inertia, at rotational frequency MeV, is observed for the two bands. This feature is discussed in terms of exhausted quasineutron alignment in the presence of substantially reduced quasiproton alignment due to Pauli blocking.
