Examine the Method of Spin Determination in Superdeformed Bands on the Basis of Normal Deformation

The data available for the ground rotational bands of known angular momenta are used to examine the method of spin determination in superdeformed bands. The bandhead angular momenta of all the ground-state rotational bands are reproduced. The calculated transition energies depend sensitively on the prescribed spins both for ground-state rotational bands and for superdeformed rotational bands. It is reasonable to determine the spins in superdeformed bands using two parameter W-Z expression for rotational spectra.
