Abstract

Bombarding Ni targets with 96-MeV O16 ions, we have observed deep-inelastic groups of mass-16 and -12 reaction products with Q values centered at -30 to - 35 MeV. From the multiplicity of the coincident γ de-excitation, total fragment spins and hence, using a classical model, orbital angular momentum transfers of 12 to 15 are deduced. These, and at least 50% of the energy dissipation, are ascribed to tangential friction.
