We observe strong structure in the excitation functions of /sup 1/2C + /sup 2/8Si backward-angle scattering. Angular distributions at the peaks of the elastic excitation function are of the form P/sub j//sup 2/(costheta) (approximately J = 15 (E/sub c.m./ = 23.3 MeV), J = 18 (E/sub c.m./ = 26.0 MeV), and J = 18 (E/sub c.m./ = 30.2 MeV)). These results appear to be inconsistent with existing theoretical descriptions of anomalous backward-angle heavy-ion elastic scattering in this mass region.
