Abstract

The energy spectra of α particles emitted in multiple-α decay chains from 59Cu compound nuclei formed in the reaction of 190 MeV 32S on 27Al have been measured. These spectra are sensitive to different regions of the phase space open to the decay of the compound nucleus. A direct test of dynamical effects related to the shape relaxation is obtained by comparing the experimental spectra with results from Monte Carlo statistical model calculations.
