The excitation function (EF) data for dissipative processes in F-19 + Al-27
system in the incident energy interval from 113.5 to 130 MeV are used to o
btain the dependence of the charge variance and of the interaction time as
a function of the incident energy. Fluctuations are observed in the EFs of
both these secondary observables. Their correlation is supported by a mecha
nism based on stochastic exchange of nucleons.
