Abstract
Both in-plane and out-of-plane angular correlations of coincident C and particles have been measured for 65 MeV bombardment of a target. Exploitation of the time-of-flight method enabled the measurement of very low energy alpha particles at back angles. Results from the present experiment show that evaporation from an intermediate nucleus * accounts for the majority of the coincidence events observed. A small number of alpha particles from the breakup of * were detected at angles around that of the carbon detector. Less than 10% of the alpha particles detected are of pre-equilibrium origin. This is in sharp contrast to earlier results.
