Abstract
The energy spectra of evaporated light charged particles (LCP) \alpha, p, d and t have been measured in 7^Li(47 MeV) + {24}^Mg and {19}^F(96 MeV)+ {12}^C reactions. Both the systems populate the same compound nucleus {31}^F at excitation energy E^* ~ 60 MeV. It has been observed that the light particle spectra obtained in Li + Mg reaction follow standard statistical model prediction, whereas a deformed configuration of the compound nucleus is needed to explain the LCP spectra for F + C reaction, which has been attributed to the effect of larger input angular momentum in the case of {19}^F(96 MeV)+ {12}^C system.
