Abstract
Connections between the superdeformed and normaldeformed states in 143Eu have been established by measuring energy sums of two consecutive gamma-ray transitions in the linking cascade. Six decay paths have been observed connecting discrete states in the two potential wells. The absolute excitation energy and the most likely spin of a superdeformed band have been determined directly for the first time.
