The scattering of 22-Mev alpha particles from carbon, magnesium, and silicon was studied with scintillation counter technique. The elastic scatterings from carbon and magnesium show the characteristic diffraction pattern, which can be obtained from the theory of diffraction by an opaque sphere. The observed inelastic angular distributions could be approximated by the squares spherical Bessel function of second order as predicted by direct interaction theory. The agreement is appreciably good for the elements. However, the cross sections do not tend toward small values in the forward direction for magnesium and silicon. (auth)
