Recent observations of particle emission in coincidence with heavy residues and with the fragments of binary decay processes provide information on both the statistical and the dynamical aspects of the decay of highly excited ‘‘Hot’’ nuclei. Evidence has been obtained for significant decreases in the nuclear level density with increasing excitation energy, for limiting temperatures which may signal a cluster phase in nuclear matter and for mass asymmetry dependent dynamic delays which invalidate simple statistical decay assumptions at intermediate excitation energies. A brief review of some such experiments is presented.
