Abstract
The entrance channel effect was studied for the decay of W-170 formed in fu sion reactions with different beam-target combinations. The average number of emitted neutrons suggest a lower effective excitation energy in the (alp ha,xn) decay channel when more mass-symmetric reaction is used, especially at the highest angular momenta. The results are in qualitative agreement wi th predictions of the dissipative fusion model.
