Description

The formation and decay of excited nuclei with masses around A=200 are studied for excitation energy, ε* ranging from 0 to 6 MeV/u. For ε* values up to 6 MeV/n, the various decay channels ending with one (evaporation), two (fission) or more (3, 4, 5) fragments still compete. In case of multifragment emission, we find that: - the life-time of the excited nucleus before breaking is equal to 100-150 fm/c for ε* values around 5 MeV/u, - the emission time (i.e. the interval between the emission of two fragments) evolves from a large value (τ>1000 fm/c, sequential decay) when ε* equals 2-3 MeV/u to a very small value (τ<50 fm/c, simultaneous decay) for ε* values around 5 MeV/u.
