Magnetic dipole transitions in superdeformed nuclei

Magnetic dipole transition matrix elements are calculated in the particle(s)+rotor model for rotational bands in superdeformed nuclei in the A = 190 region. Several bands are found to have large B(M1) values. Drastically different M1-properties appear for the maximal (K> = K1 + K2) and minimal (K< = K1 − K2) K values in strongly coupled tow-quasiparticle states. The B(M1) values may give information not only on the magnetic properties, but also on details of the single-particle orbits and on residual two-body interactions in superdeformed nuclei.
