COLLISIONS INDUCED BY 11 MEV NUCLEON NI-58+MG-24/

Measurements of energy spectra for protons, deuterons, tritons, and a particles in coincidence with heavy evaporation residues were made wit h a large logarithmic detector array which covered the angular range o f 3 degrees to 24 degrees. We performed detailed comparisons with stat istical calculations which model the evaporative decay of a compound n ucleus formed in the collisions. We found out that it was possible to account for the observed energy spectra of the light particles and the ir relative yields if one assumes initial evaporation from a highly de formed composite system (dinuclear) which at a later stage in the casc ade relaxes into a normal compound nucleus.
