Deformations of hot composite 32 S * formed in the reaction 20 Ne(∼7-10 MeV/nucleon) + 12 C have been estimated from the respective inclusive α-particle evaporation spectra. The estimated deformations for 32 S * have been found to be much larger than the "normal" deformations of hot, rotating composites at similar excitations. This further confirms the formation of a highly deformed long-lived configuration of 20 Ne + 12 C at high excitations (∼70-100 MeV)-which was recently indicated from analysis of complex fragment emission data for the same system. Exclusive α-particle evaporation spectra from the decay of hot composite 32 S * also show similar behavior.
