The energy spectra and angular distributions of alpha particles and protons emitted from /sup 67/Ga compound nuclei at excitation energies of 110 to 116 MeV formed in four different reactions have been measured. The populated angular momentum ranges deduced from fusion cross section information correspond to 0--24 h-dash-bar for /sup 4/He+/sup 63/Cu, 0--38 h-dash-bar for /sup 12/C+/sup 55/Mn, 0--48 h-dash-bar for /sup 16/O+/sup 51/V, and 0--50 h-dash-bar for /sup 40/Ar+/sup 27/Al. The experimental data are analyzed using the angular-momentum-dependent statistical model and the rotating liquid drop model. Average multiplicities and barriers are extracted for different zones of angular momentum. Comparisons with the models indicate large deformations of the /sup 67/Ga nuclei at the higher angular momenta and suggest large deformation related increases in the nuclear level density and decreases of emission barriers. The p/..cap alpha.. ratio decreases with increasing angular momentum less than expected for spherical emitters at the higher angular momenta. The average ..cap alpha.. emission barriers are found to be close to those which are calculated for emission from the tips of prolate deformed nuclei such as those predicted by the liquid drop model. The experimental proton barriers appear somewhat smaller than those calculated using the liquid drop model shapes.
