12. Use of the DIAMANT ancillary detector in studying extreme nuclear shapes at large angular momenta C.E.N.B.G. (Bordeaux) and ATOMKI (Debrecen) (2000-present)

13. DIAMANT in search for hyperdeformation Hotest subject of present-day gamma-spectroscopy! DIAMANT has been used in EUROBALL experiments aiming at, e.g., the identification of rotational structures characteristic for hyperdeformed (HD) shapes in nuclei 168-172 Hf and 126 Ba. Hotest subject of present-day gamma-spectroscopy! Which of these is more favorable? 1) 126 Ba is predicted to be the best candidate for having stable HD structures: Theoretical predictions (macroscopic calculations by J. Dudek), indicate that the energy minimum (dark blue regions) of the 126 Ba nucleus at deformations (  2,  ) corresponding to hyperdeformed shapes remains stable upto very high spins (I). At a critical spin of I > 74 ħ the nucleus becomes unstable against fission.
