Abstract

The in-plane to out-of-plane ratio of discrete γ-rays of known multipolarity has been measured in coincidence with projectile-like reaction products for the 86Kr +166Er reaction at 600 MeV. The 6+ → 4+ and 4+ → 2+ transitions in several residual nuclei exhibit a large ratio of in-plane to out-of-plane yield, confirming the large alignment of the transferred angular momentum in deeply inelastic collisions previously observed in sequential fission studies. A comparison with continuum γ-ray studies indicates that stretched E2 γ-rays do not dominate the continuum spectrum to the extent previously assumed.
