Angular distributions for the {sup 9}Be+{sup 13}C elastic and inelastic scattering have been measured at a {sup 9}Be bombarding energy of 50.46 MeV over an angular range from 10{degree} to 170{degree} c.m. Besides the ground state of {sup 13}C, the 3.68 MeV {ital J}{sup {pi}}=3/2{sup {minus}} and the 7.55 MeV {ital J}{sup {pi}}=5/2{sup {minus}} levels are strongly populated. The enhancement of the backward cross section is clear evidence that the process is dominated by the exchange of an {alpha} particle between two identical {sup 9}Be cores. The experimental relative integrated cross sections are fairly well reproduced by distorted wave calculations using an {alpha}-cluster form factor and the shell-model spectroscopic strengths of Kurath.
