Description

The reaction 32S (165.4 MeV) + 24Mg is studied using the binary reaction spectrometer (BRS) coupled to the EUROBALL Ge-detector array. Particle-particle-γ and particle-γ-γ coincidences have been examined together with γ-γ-only coincidences for the fusion-evaporation residues. Recent reports of evidence for hyper-deformation from angular correlations in similar data are investigated. Analogous out-of-plane angular correlations are observed but attributed to reactions with the target contaminants 16O and 12C. This is consistent with the contamination observed in the γ-γ-only data
