Multiplicity distributions of neutrons and energy spectra of light charged particles have been measured in coincidence with evaporation residues from the S + ' Sn fusion reactions at Estab --130-180 Mev. The experimental data are found to be in agreement with the results of statistical-model calculations, provided a = A./12 MeV is assumed for the efFective level-density parameter for all nuclides in the decay path. Simulation calculations have further shown that such a low value of the level-density parameter cannot be explained as a result of a possible population of superdeformed bands, unaccounted for by the statistical-decay code.PACS number(s): 25.70.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
