Abstract
Particle evaporation rates from excited nuclear systems at equilibrium matter density are studied within the harmonic-interaction Fermi gas model (HIFGM) combined with Weisskopf's detailed balance approach. It is found that thermal expansion of a hot nucleus, as described quantitatively by HIFGM, leads to a significant retardation of particle emission, greatly extending the validity of Weisskopf's approach. The decay of such highly excited nuclei is strongly influenced by surface instabilities.
