Abstract
The discovery of a superdeformed (SD) band of 19 discrete transitions in the nucleus 152Dy1 is at the origin of the formidable experimental and theoretical effort which has allowed for much progress in the unraveling of the main properties of superdeformation. Over the last five years, many unexpected features have been discovered. In fact, just as soon as a new feature has been explained invariably the next observation has highlighted another surprising phenomenon. The net result of all the activity has been a dramatic increase of our understanding of rapidly rotating nuclei.
