An oscillatory pattern in the smoothed quantum spectrum, which is unique forsingle-particle motions in a reflection-asymmetric superdeformed oscillatorpotential, is investigated by means of the semiclassical theory of shellstructure. Clear correspondence between the oscillating components of thesmoothed level density and the classical periodic orbits is found. It is shownthat an interference effect between two families of the short periodic orbits,called supershell effect, develops with increasing reflection-asymmetricdeformations. Possible origins of this enhancement phenomena as well as quantumsignatures of period-multipling bifurcations are discussed in connection withstabilities of the classical periodic orbits.Comment: 27 pages, REVTeX, 12 postscript figures are available from the author upon reques
