Resonance inC12+O16Scattering atEc.m.≈19.7MeV

Abstract

A strong resonancelike structure (∼400 keV wide) has been observed in elastic ${}_{}{}^{16}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$ + ${}_{}{}^{12}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$ scattering. Inelastic scattering excitation functions with ${}_{}{}^{16}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}$ in the unresolved $0^{+}$, $3^{-}$ states at 6.1 MeV show structure correlated with the elastic channel. An analysis of the angular distribution measured on the resonance indicates a spin $I=14\mathrm{}$.
