Abstract: Attached to any reductive Lie group $G$ is a "Cartan motion group" $G_0$ $-$ a Lie group with the same dimension as $G$, but a simpler group structure. A natural one-to-one correspondence between the irreducible tempered representations of $G$ and the unitary irreducible representations of $G_0$, whose existence had been suggested by Mackey in the 1970s, has recently been described by the author. In the present notes, we use the existence of a family of groups interpolating between $G$ and $G_0$ to realize the bijection as a deformation: for every irreducible tempered representation $pi$ of G, we build, in an appropriate Fr'echet space, a family of subspaces and evolution operators that contract $pi$ onto the corresponding representation of $G_0$.
