Abstract
The energy deposition associated with inelastic ct particle scattering on (209)Bi at 240 MeV has been determined using the TAMU neutron ball. A comparison of the reconstructed average excitation energies with the beam energy losses demonstrates that only part of the missing beam energy is usually deposited as thermal excitation in the target nucleus. Requiring an additional coincidence with a light charged particle or fission fragment leads to selection of a significant higher average excitation energy
