Abstract

Experimental excitation functions for the emission of complex fragments from compound nuclei are analyzed to search for atomic number {ital Z} and energy {ital E} dependent deviations from transition-state-method predictions. No {ital Z} and/or {ital E} dependent effects that could be attributed to an increased collectivity with increasing mass (charge) of the emitted fragment and associated with transient or stationary solutions of Kramers` diffusion equation are visible. Over seventy excitation functions, for complex fragments from four different compound nuclei, can be collapsed into a single universal straight line that is rigorously consistent with the transitions-state predictions.
