Evidence for the tetrahedral nature of /sup 16/O
Journal Article
·
· Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
Evidence is given to show that /sup 16/O behaves like a tetrahedral rotor with a level sequence 0/sup +/, 3/sup -/, 4/sup +/, 6/sup +/, 7/sup -/, 8/sup +/, ... . The charge form factors for excited states can be predicted from the ground-state form factor and excellent agreement with experiment is obtained for the 3/sup -/ and 4/sup +/ states at 6.13 and 10.35 MeV, respectively. The elastic-scattering data are fitted using deformed rather than spherical ..cap alpha.. clusters.
