Abstract

The neutron decay of the isoscalar giant monopole resonance (GMR) and of the underlying continuum in I248n was studied.
The GMR decay mechanism is shown to be a function of the excitation energy. The non-statistical decay component decreases
with excitation from (20 _+ 5)% in the lower part to (10 + 5)% in the higher part. For the lower part there is evidence for preequilibrium
decay. The decay of the continuum also shows a non-statistical decay component
