Description

The average internal-conversion probabilities as a function of spin for continuum γ transitions are deduced from the energy dependence of the evaporation-residue atomic--charge-state distributions. Strongly enhanced internal-conversion probabilities are observed at high spin. The implications of these results for nuclear shapes at high spin are considered
