Abstract
The statistical role of the dinucleus as a "doorway" in heavy-ion deep-inelastic reactions is discussed. A detailed analysis of the reactions + at and + at MeV is presented. It is pointed out that the lifetime of the dinucleus extracted from excitation-function fluctuation analysis (Ericson fluctuation analysis) is close to that extracted from the final-fragment angular and charge distributions.
