Consistency of nuclear thermometric measurements at moderate excitation

A comparison of various thermometric techniques used for the estimation of nuclear temperature has been made from the decay of hot composite {sup 32}S* produced in the reaction {sup 20}Ne (145 MeV) + {sup 12}C. It is shown that the temperatures estimated by different techniques, known to vary significantly in the Fermi energy domain, are consistent with each other within experimental limits for the system studied here.
