An overview is given of the status of experiments that use GDR "/-multiplicities (GDR clock) to extract nuclear dissipation as a function of nuclear temperature by timing the fission process from the compound nucleus equilibrium shape to the scission point. Results that indicate a rapid rise of diss

✦ Synopsis
Gamma-rays, charged particles and evaporation residue products from lso+1°°Mo collisions at E(lso)=125 to 217 MeV have been measured in order to understand better the width evolution of the GDR in hot nuclei. Detailed angular distributions of all reaction products are used to determine important preequilibrium and bremsstrahlung effects and the giant-dipole parameters as a function of temperature. Results show the GDR width increasing with final-state temperature up to T=2.5 MeV, in contrast with previous works which argue for a saturation of the width in this energy range.

High-energy ~,-rays from the decay of the giant-dipole resonance (GDR) in the hot l~Sn compound nucleus and its daughters were measured in coincidence with heavy recoiling evaporation residues. The compound nucleus was formed at excitation energy E\* = 80 MeV using the reaction 56Ni+4STi at a bombar
