Abstract
The angular distributions of spin-zero even-parity particles emerging from a compound nucleus formed by a and pair are displayed in a simple form which facilitates parametrizing the differential cross section in terms of partial waves. The method is applied to the data of Jobst et al. to display the resonant partial waves corresponding to states. Intrinsically ambiguous solutions of number are found empirically. The problem of selecting the correct solution is discussed. Data with polarized deuterons are of no help since the analyzing powers are energy-independent (cf. Jacobsohn and Ryndin, who first noted that the reaction is an absolute detector of deuteron alignment).
