The angular distributions of alpha-particles were obtained for the reactions F19(p, α )O16 leaving the residual nucleus in the ground state, Al27(p, α )Mg24 and P31(p, α )Si28 leaving the residual nuclei in the ground and first excited states at four bombarding energies between 6.0 and 7.4 Mev. The angular distribution for the reaction Fi19 (p, α )O16 shows the backward peak at each energy, but at s all angles it depends on the bombarding energy. The angular distributions for the reactions Al27(p, α )Mg24 and P31(p, α )Si28 are also energy-dependent, but contain a larger isotropic part than those for the reaction F19(p, α )O16. The integrated cross sections for the reactions Al27(p, α )Mg24 and P31(p, α )Si28 leaving the residual nuclei in the first excited states are several times as large as those for the reactions leaving the residual nuclei in the ground states. - It appears unlikely that these reactions can be accounted for by the formation of compound nucleus or by simple direct interaction. The possible mechanisms through which these reactions may take place are discussed.
