Alpha particles were measured in coincidence with damped projectile-like and fission reaction products for the system /sup 165/Ho + /sup 56/Fe at E/sub lab/ = 465 MeV. The total alpha particle multiplicity for both damped and fission reactions was determined to be M/sub ..cap alpha../ = 0.26 per event. For damped processes, the total alpha multiplicity increases from M/sub ..cap alpha../ = 0.07 for an average total kinetic energy loss of = 105 MeV, to M/sub ..cap alpha../ = 0.41 and M/sub ..cap alpha../ = 0.27, for values of = 170 MeV is M/sub ..cap alpha../ = 0.20, increasing to M/sub ..cap alpha../ = 0.28 for the higher average kinetic energy losses of = 200 and 250 MeV. Monte Carlo evaporation simulations, using the Code MONTHY, were employed to determine the emitting sources of these alpha particles, and the statistical model calculations were performed with the PACE code to obtain multiplicity predictions.
