Abstract: The excitation energy, spin, and parity of the yrast superdeformed band in 152Dy have been firmly established. The evidence comes mainly from the measured properties of a 4011 keV single-step transition connecting the yrast superdeformed level fed by the 693 keV transition to the 27- yrast state. Four additional, weaker, linking gamma rays have been placed as well. The excitation energy of the lowest superdeformed band member is 10 644 keV and its spin and parity are determined to be 24+.
