Abstract

It is proposed to treat the slow evolution of fragment deformations in deeply inelastic heavy-ion collisions as a dissipative process. For spheroidal fragment shapes and the corresponding driving potential we obtain expressions for mean value and variance of the deformation and for the associated scission-configuration energy fluctuations. Results for the correlation between dissipated angular momentum and total kinetic energy loss as well as for the energy spectra are in good agreement with recent data.
