We have bombarded /sup 232/Th nuclei by /sup 40/Ar ions with energy 390 MeV. The ..delta..E, E technique was used to measure energy spectra of nuclear reaction products with atomic number 5< or =Z< or =38 at an angle of 20/sup 0/. It is concluded that the most probable mechanism for formation of products with 20< or approx. =Z< or =38 is deep inelastic transfer of nucleons, although the contribution of fission to the cross section for production of the heaviest products may be important. Estimates are made of the dynamical deformations of the nuclei in deep inelastic interactions.
