Abstract
Using the transmission method we have measured the circular polarization, , of rays from excited projectilelike fragments in the reaction + at 100 MeV. The polarizations are large with values up to %. Over the whole range, the sign and magnitude of can be interpreted in terms of matching conditions familiar from direct-reaction analysis, contrasting the statistical character of the associated heavy-fragment excitation.
