Abstract We investigate the transfer of relative angular momentum into internal angular momentum of the fragments in deeply inelastic heavy-ion collisions. The previous studies of drift and diffusion coefficients for mass transfer and energy dissipation are extended to include the dissipation of relative angular momentum. In a single-particle model the transport coefficients are obtained in closed form. We discuss their dependence on initial relative angular momentuml, dissipated angular momentum, mass asymmetry and total mass. Using thel-dependent interaction times obtained earlier we calculate mean value and variance of the dissipated angular momentum. For sufficiently long interaction times, the mean value reaches the sticking limit. The large fluctuations, however, do not allow for a classical description of angular momentum dissipation. These results are consistent with recentγ-multiplicity experiments.
