N/Z INFLUENCE ON DISINTEGRATION MODES OF COMPOUND NUCLEI

Investigations on the influence of the neutron enrichment on the decay channels of excited nuclei are presented. Characteristics of fragments with charge 6 <= Z <= 28 emitted in (78,82)Kr+(40)Ca at 5.5 MeV/A reactions were measured at the GANIL facility. Data are compatible with an emission process from compound nucleus and are discussed in the framework of the transition state model.
