Title: Particle evaporation spectra with inclusion of thermal shape fluctuations

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6396424

The origin of the substantial sub-Coulomb component observed in proton and /sup 4/He evaporation spectra at high excitation energy is attributed to the thermal excitation of shape degrees of freedom. A critique of the Hauser-Feshbach theory as used in evaporation codes is presented. A new formalism including the thermal excitation of collective modes as well as quantal penetration in the framework of a transition state approach is derived. 5 figs.
