Triaxial superdeformation (TSD) has recently been established in Lu and Hf isotopes in the mass 165 region. In this work we report on the first evidence for TSD in ¹⁷⁰Hf. High-spin states in ¹⁷⁰Hf have been populated at the Vivitron accelerator of IReS, Strasbourg, using the reaction ¹²⁴Sn(⁵⁰Ti,4n) at 216 MeV beam energy. Gamma-ray coincidences were detected with the EUROBALL spectrometer. A preliminary analysis of the coincidence data leads to an extension of all known normal-deformed (ND) bands in ¹⁷⁰Hf to higher spins. In addition, one new ND band has been found. First results of the search for TSD in ¹⁷⁰Hf revealed a band with similar characteristics as the TSD bands in neighbouring ¹⁶⁸Hf.
