/sup 20/Ne states observed via /sup 16/O(. cap alpha. ,. cap alpha. /sub i/)/sup 16/O

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
Surface barrier detectors at 16 --18 angles measured simultaneously the differential cross sections for the reactions /sup 16/O(..cap alpha..,..cap alpha../sub 0/..cap alpha../sub 1/..cap alpha../sub 2/..cap alpha../sub 3/..cap alpha../sub 4/..cap alpha../sub 5/)/sup 16/O in the bombarding energy range from 14.6 to 20.4 MeV and in steps of 10 keV. For E/sub ..cap alpha../ > 18 MeV peak fitting techniques separated the yields of ..cap alpha../sub 1/ (Q = -6.05 MeV) from ..cap alpha../sub 2/ (Q = -6.13 MeV). The target was a differentially pumped windowless gas target of high purity O/sub 2/. A total of 25 levels in /sup 20/Ne (16 < E/sub x/ < 21 MeV) were analyzed by writing the reaction amplitude for spinless positive-parity particles as a nonresonant term which varies linearly with energy plus a sum over only resonant partial waves. Inelastic scattering angular distributions were expanded in terms of Legendre polynomials for E/sub ..cap alpha../ > 18 MeV.
