A rotational band with five cascade γ-ray transitions was newly found in 40Ar. The deduced transition quadrupole moment of has demonstrated this band as having a superdeformed shape of β2 ~ 0.5. The structure of the band was discussed in the framework of cranked Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculations and the assignment of multiparticle–multihole configuration has been made.
