Abstract
From measured cross sections for evaporative1H and4He, we have unfolded the separate effects of excitation energy (E) and spin (J) on the decay of194Hg. The analysis depends only on Bohr's independence hypothesis and on certain general features of the transmission coefficients for fusion. Evaporation-like emission of1H and4He increases rapidly with energy but decreases rather mildly with initial spin. Significant emission occurs even for very high spins where the calculated fission barrier is essentially zero. The equilibrium model for fission-evaporation competition is brought into question forE*≳98 MeV and J≳65 ħ.

Assume that the map (Fig. 5(a) for example) is essentially unchanged for all members of the evaporative decay chain. One may crudely estimate CDF orW(J) for1H as follows: (a) locate the point on the map corresponding to initial values ofE*,l crit (e.g. from Ref. 11 CDF=0.25 for1H from194Hg* withE*=82 MeV andl erit=36) (b) Note in Fig. 4(a) that the first step emission probability for1H is ≈2% forE*=82 MeV,J=36. (c) Second step probability can be estimated, forE*≈70,J≈34, to be ≈1%. (d) The remaining steps can be similarly estimated to sum to <2%. The calculated CDF is the sum of all steps and can thus be estimated to be ≈5% compared to the measured value of 0.25 for CDF
