Abstract

An excitation function for the C-12(Ne-20,C-12[0(2)(+)])Ne-20 reaction was measured over the energy range E-c.m. = 22.5-31.9 MeV. An enhancement in the cross section was observed between E-c.m. = 24.5 and 10.5 MeV in both the C-12(0(2)(+)) + Ne-20(g.s.) and C-12(0(2)(+)) + Ne-20(2(+)) exit channels. Oscillatory angular distributions were observed at E-c.m. = 25.24, 26.56, 28.50, and 30.44 MeV acid the range of dominant angular moments involved at these energies was found to be centered on 14 (h) over bar,15 (h) over bar,16 (h) over bar, and 17 (h) over bar, respectively. Excitation functions were also measured for the C-12(Ne-20, C-12[3(-)])Ne-20* reaction. For the C-12(Ne-20, C-12[0(2)(+)])Ne-20 reaction the data were well described by the results of coupled channel calculations. [S0556-2813(99)07702-X].
