Abstract
Rotational motion loses its coherence as a function of the nuclear int ernal excitation energy. The damping process does not proceed in a con tinuous fashion and scars of discrete rotational bands are found, inbe dded in a background of damped rotational states, regardless whether t he calculations are carried out using effective or ''random'' forces. The complexity of the damping mechanism is revealed in the lineshape o f the ridges in the gamma-gamma correlation spectrum.
