RESONANCES IN C$sup 12$ ON CARBON REACTIONS

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Letters
The reaction yield from C/sup 12/ on carbon targets was studied for the laboratory energy range 9 to 29 Mev. Excitation curves are included for protons at 27 deg , alpha particles at 42 deg , neutrons at 30 deg , and gamma radiation at 90 deg . The magnitudes of the corresponding differential cross sections at 10 Mev (center-of-mass system) incident energy are: protons, 15 mb/sr; alpha particles, 34 mb/sr; and neutrons, 3 mb/sr. These cross sections refer to protons> 6 Mev, alpha particles) 7.5 Mev, and all neutrons. Excitation curves are given for O/sup 16/ on oxygen reactions. Alpha particles were detected at 27 deg and gamma radiation at 90 deg . The alpha production cross section at 10 Mev incident energy was 4.5 mb/sr. The classical Coulomb barrier was indicated at 6.6 and 10.5 Mev for C/sup 12/ and O/sup 16/ reactions, respectively. (B.O.G.)
