up as an evaporation residue. The initial conditions for $\vec q_0$ and $\vec p_0$ are fixed to the ground-state deformation and drawn from a normalized gaussian distribution respectively [@PBR96]. The nuclear systems we have investigated so far were generated through heavy-ion collisions which can lead to a large variety of the angular momentum of the synthesized nucleus. The initial spin distribution of the former is determined in our model by solving a Langevin equation [@Prz94] describing the evolution of the two colliding ions from an infinite distance up to fusion. The Langevin equation (3) is then solved in order to describe the dynamical evolution of the synthesized nucleus taking particle emission into account by coupling the Langevin equation to the Master equations governing this evaporation process. For each trajectory we start with a given compound system characterized by its excitation energy and angular momentum. The final prediction, which can be compared to experiment, is then determined by weighting the calculations made at given angular momentum by the fusion-fission cross section [@PNS00]. ${}$\
