Abstract

Structure in the energy spectra of specific final fragments produced in symmetric heavy-ion damped collisions is shown to correlate with statistical evaporation processes from primary fragments. The calculations are applied and described for ${}^{41}{Ca}$ produced by the ${}^{40}{Ca}$ + ${}^{40}{Ca}$ reaction at a bombarding energy of 400 MeV. The calculated energy spectrum has structure at the same energies as the experimental spectrum.
