Title: Resonances in s-d shell nuclei

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6233885

It appears that the system we have studied here, /sup 24/Mg(/sup 16/O,/sup 12/C)/sup 28/Si representing /sup 40/Ca as the composite nucleus, is perhaps the heaviest one that exhibits strong enough resonances that quantitative measurements may be contemplated. But we have uncovered only a small corner of what is there and even within this system a huge amount of work remains. The nature of these resonances is not yet clear. The sequence may perhaps have an explanation that is schematically outlined, namely that there are several families of quasistationary states in /sup 40/Ca, but that the slopes of these families do not necessarily coincide with the slope of the grazing partial waves that provide us with a narrow transparent strip of a window on the underlying structure of the nucleus. We must concentrate a lot of effort and ingenuity in order to maximize the information we gather through this window and only then may we hope to sensibly attempt forming hypotheses about the underlying simple pattern.
