Alpha-particle doorway states in /sup 28/Si

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
Excitation functions for the /sup 12/C(/sup 16/O,/sup 12/C/sub g.s./)/sup 16/O reaction feeding the 0/sup +/,6.049-, 3/sup -/,6.131-, 2/sup +/,6.919-, 1/sup -/,7.117-, 4/sup +/,10.353-, and 4/sup +/,11.095-MeV states of /sup 16/O have been measured at theta/sub lab/=7.0/sup 0/ over the energy range 22.7 < or = E/sub c.m./ < or = 37.7 MeV in 86- or 173-keV steps. The Ericson-fluctuation type analysis was performed and nonfluctuating enhancements with a width of 700 keV are observed at E/sub c.m./=23.6, 24.6, 28.4, and 32.2 MeV for the 0/sup +/,6.049-MeV states. The most probable total spins for the lowest three states are assigned to be J/sup ..pi../=14/sup +/, 14/sup +/, and 15/sup -/, respectively. These enhancements are strongly correlated to those for the 2/sup +/,6.919-MeV state, but anticorrelated to those for the 3/sup -/,6.131-MeV state. Model calculations based on Hauser-Feshbach and band-crossing theories were performed and none of them have succeeded to reproduce the data in a consistent way. Alpha-particle doorway states embedded in the high excitation of /sup 28/Si (39--54 MeV) are indicative to describe these intermediate-structure resonances.
