Abstract

The γ-ray multiplicities following 100Mo(40Ar, xnγ)Nd have been studied by several methods. The measured width of the multiplicity distribution and the shape of the multiplicity spectrum as a function of transition energy suggest a broad region of feeding into the 4n channel. The dependence of the multiplicity on transition energy, for the sum of all reaction channels and for only the 4n reaction channel, is well reproduced by a calculation which suggests that the products become deformed rotors at spins above 30ħ.
