The elastic scattering of protons by O/sup 16/ is investigated in the range of bombarding energies from 3.5 to 5.75 Mev; twelve excitation functi ons and four angular distributi ons are measured. A phase-shift analysis of the cross-section data shows the existence of a broad ( GAMMA /sub lab/ = 0.220 Mev) 3/2state at 4.60 Mev and a very broad ( GAMMA /sub lab/ = 1.0 Mev) 1/2+ state at 4.97 Mev in F/sup 17/. In addition the analysis indicates the possible existence of states with assignments 3/2-, 7/2-, and 3/2+ at F/sup 17/ excitations of 5.47, 5.67, and 5.84 Mev, respectively. The 3/2- and 3/2+ states at 4.60 and 4.97 Mev are shown to have a fairly large probability of being found in the two-body configuration p + O/sup 16/. (auth)
