Structure in the /sup 14/C+/sup 16/O reaction cross sections

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
The yields of several nuclides produced in the /sup 14/C+/sup 16/O reaction have been measured over the range E/sub c.m./=16--34 MeV. The excitation function for the production of /sup 22/Ne displays a regular sequence of narrow fine-structure resonances similar to those previously observed in the /sup 12/C+/sup 16/O reaction. This is the first time that such structure has been observed for systems of non-..cap alpha..-particle nuclei. Intermediate-width resonances are observed in the yield of /sup 18/O at E/sub c.m./=19.5, 23.5, 27.5, and 31 MeV. Correlated structure appears in the inelastic scattering cross section to the 3/sup -/ state of /sup 14/C at all these energies, except possibly E/sub c.m./=19.5 MeV. The resemblance of the 23.5-MeV structure to anomalies previously observed in the /sup 16/O+/sup 16/O and /sup 12/C+/sup 16/O reactions is noted, and some properties of the compound system are deduced.
