Abstract

A statistical theory incorporating deformation, collective and non collective rotational degrees of freedom, temperature and angular momentum is used to study the highly excited fused compound system.  Temperature and spin induced shape transitions are investigated using statistical theory. We have carried out a systematic theoretical investigation of shape transition in 98Sr. The prediction of spherical collective shape to triaxial deformed shape at low angular momentum and non collective oblate shape at higher angular momentum are very much significant in this work
