Nuclear shapes of /sup 24/Mg and /sup 28/Si by inelastic scattering of /sup 12/C and /sup 16/ /sup 18/O

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
The measurement and analysis of the differential cross sections for the elastic and inelastic scattering to the lowest 2/sup +/ states of /sup 24/Mg and /sup 28/Si in the scattering of /sup 12/C at bombarding energies of 25 and 30 MeV are reported. In addition, elastic and inelastic scattering for /sup 16/O + /sup 24/Mg, /sup 16/O + /sup 28/Si, and /sup 18/O + /sup 28/Si, which had been measured previously, are reanalyzed. The analyses are carried out utilizing a coupled-channels code, and deformation lengths for /sup 24/Mg and /sup 28/Si are determined from the scattering of the different projectiles. The deformation lengths extracted from these analyses are compared with each other and with the results of a recently reported systematic investigation of deformation lengths in light nuclei.
