Lifetimes of states in the yrast superdeformed bands of 163Lu and 164Lu were determined in a Doppler-shift attenuation-method experiment. High-spin states were populated in the reaction 139La(29Si,xn) at 145 MeV. The beam was provided by the Legnaro Tandem accelarator. Gamma-ray coincidences were measured with the GASP Ge-detector array. From fractional Doppler-shifts and line shapes, average transition quadrupole moments, Qt = 8.2−0.6+1.0 b and 7.1−0.6+0.5 b, were deduced for one of the bands in 163Lu and 164Lu, respectively. These values are much larger than the quadrupole moment of the normal-deformed yrast band in 163Yb, Qt = 4.9−0.4+1.3 b, that was also determined in this experiment. Comparison to cranking calculations indicates that both superdeformed bands correspond to a local potential energy minimum with a pronounced triaxiality, γ∼ 200.
