Influence of Deformation on Light Particles as a Probe of Nuclear Dissipation for a Neutron-Deficient 178Pb System

Using a diffusion model we investigate deformation effects on the sensitivity of different light particles to nuclear dissipation for a rather neutron-deficient 178Pb system. Calculations show that deformation significantly increases the sensitivity of neutron emission to dissipation strength, and that this effect becomes stronger with increasing deformation.
