Abstract

The angular distribution of alpha particles with respect to the spin direction of the residual nuclei is used to probe the shapes of the emitting systems. Two compound systems have been studied: Yb170 and Sn110. Deformed emission shapes are required in order to understand the alpha-gamma correlations in the Yb170 system, but not for the Sn110 compound system. These conclusions are identical to those reached by the study of giant resonances built on excited states for very similar systems.
