Popis: The first three moments of the ..gamma..-ray multiplicity distribution and the out-of-plane ..gamma..-ray anisotropy have been measured simultaneously as a function of mass asymmetry for the strongly damped products of the reaction /sup 63/Cu with 168-MeV /sup 20/Ne. The large variance of the multiplicity appears to be associated with the small anisotropy. These results indicate a random component of angular momentum which is comparable to the aligned component induced by tangential friction.
