✦ Synopsis

The decay channels of" U' excited to energies between 10 and 1800 MeV are sampled by a mi- crocanonical Monte Carlo calculation; i.e. , the total energy, momentum, baryon number, and charge are strictly conserved quantities. From samples of about 2 x 10 complete events, various averages are calculated, such as the number N, of charged fragments, the number of prompt and of evaporated neutrons, the temperature, and the multiplicity of heavy fragments. The distributions of the multiplicity N, and of the temperature T are calculated as well.
