Sub-Coulomb resonances in the /sup 12/C-/sup 12/C system through the reaction /sup 12/C(/sup 12/C, /sup 16/O)/sup 8/Be

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
The excitation functions of the reaction /sup 12/C(/sup 12/C,/sup 16/O(g.s.))/sup 8/Be(g.s.) were measured at 35degree lab (approx.90degree c.m.) and at 20degree lab (approx.50degree c.m.) near and above the Coulomb barrier (5.75 < or = E/sub c. m./ < or = 8.9 MeV). Resonant structures were found at 5.94, 6.35, 6.69, 8.0, and 8.4 MeV. These resonant structures were correlated with those in the elastic channel. The angular distributions at 6.4, 6.65, and 8.0 MeV were measured, and spin-parity assignments are 2/sup +/, 2/sup +/, and 4/sup +/, respectively. The oxygen partial width at 5.94 MeV was determined to be 14 keV, which is a large as the carbon partial width.
