Abstract
The absolute γ-ray/fission multiplicities from hot rotating [Formula Presented] populated at seven bombarding energies using the reaction [Formula Presented] are reported. Statistical model calculations including nuclear dissipation have been performed to extract the dependence of the nuclear viscosity on temperature and/or nuclear deformation. The extracted nuclear dissipation coefficient is found to be independent of temperature. Large dissipation during the saddle to scission path provides a good fit to the γ-ray spectra.
