Summary, in English

Deuteron evaporation was observed from the N = Z compound nuclei 52Fe, 56Ni, and 64Ge in an experiment conducted at Argonne National Laboratory, USA. The experiment included a novel combination of two highly pixelated double-sided Si-strip detectors inside the Microball charged-particle detection array, allowing for unequivocal discrimination of evaporated deuterons from protons and α particles. In conjunction with the Gammasphere array, Neutron Shell, and additional ancillary detectors, decay paths into various residual nuclei were investigated. The study provides insights into the competition of deuteron vs proton-neutron evaporation
as a function of available excitation energy and populated angular momentum. Results are interpreted using a statistical evaporation formalism for multiple subsequent particle emissions. The decisive factor in the comparison appears to be the available excitation energy in the residual system, with single nucleon evaporation preferred over deuteron evaporation for higher excitation energies.
