We have measured fission and particle-evaporation cross sections for the nuclei 170-188Pt formed with the reactions 58,64Ni + 112-124Sn. This represents the first systematic study of the decay of compound nuclei formed with heavy projectiles (Aproj≳1 / 2Atarget), and thus endowed with large angular momenta at relatively low excitation energies. Using a statistical model and a single set of input parameters, we have reproduced all the data.
