Description

A recent statistical-model analysis of La Rana et al. has indicated an extremely large deformation in the decay of the compound nucleus 60Ni*, formed in the reaction 30Si+30Si at Elab=120 MeV. We believe that their calculations do not support the reported magnitude of reduction in the evaporation Coulomb barrier of the emitting system. By means of a statistical-model calculation, we show that most of the features of their data can be reproduced, assuming spherically symmetric parameters
