Effective excitation energies used to obtain level densities in statistical model deexcitation calculations of nuclei with high angular momenta have been evaluated specifically for neutron, proton, deuteron, and ..cap alpha.. emission. When particle emission is assumed to change the initial angular momentum distribution, the effect of these excitation energies is to strongly enhance ..cap alpha.. emission relative to other modes of deexcitation. Calculations are illustrated with reference to the deexcitation of the /sup 149/Tb compound nucleus.
