Intermediate structure in /sup 12/C + /sup 12/C elastic scattering

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
A band crossing model with a smooth-cutoff representation of absorption effects is applied to the intermediate structure observed in elastic scattering of the /sup 12/C + /sup 12/C system. The model is found to reproduce the experiment extremely well, which suggests strongly that the intermediate structure is a reflection of the existence of molecular resonances. The values of parameters in a smooth-cutoff representation of absorption effects are extracted by an analysis of the oscillatory fusion cross section.
