Abstract
-ray angular correlations have been measured for the strongly damped reaction (, ) at for MeV. The 4.44-MeV, state is found to be produced almost exclusively in the magnetic substate with respect to the beam axis. Comparison of singles and coincidence yields shows that the comes out in its ground state most of the time (≅ 70%) resulting in the entire excitation energy ≅ 15-20 MeV appearing in . These results can be reproduced by a constrained phase-space calculation.
