Abstract
The rotational damping width \Gamma_{rot} and the compound damping width \Gamma_{comp} are two fundamental quantities that characterize rapidly rotating compound nuclei having finite thermal excitation energy. A two-component structure in the strength function of consecutive E2 transitions reflects the two widths, and it causes characteristic features in the double and triple gamma-ray spectra. We discuss a new method to extract experimentally values of \Gamma_{rot} and \Gamma_{comp}. The first preliminary result of this method is presented.
