Abstract
Within the framework of a previously developed transition-state theory for nuclear multifragmentation, we study the effect of pre-transition radiation of nucleons on the partial widths for breakup into specifie d multifragment channels. Typically, a considerable portion of the mas s and energy of the source is radiated during the evolution of the sys tem from a spherical compound nucleus towards the conditional saddle c onfiguration, thus causing a significant reduction of the multifragmen tation width.
