Abstract

The heavy-ion radiative capture reaction C( O,γ)Si has been studied at three energies on- (E 20.0 and 21.2 MeV) and off- (E 20.7 MeV) resonance at Triumf (Vancouver) using the state-of-the-art Dragon 0° spectrometer and its very efficient associated BGO γ array. Intermediate states around E 11.5 MeV, carrying a large part of the resonant flux have been observed for the first time in this system. The nature of those doorway states is discussed in terms of recently calculated cluster bands in Si. The results are compared to a recent similar investigation of the C(C,γ)Mg reaction.
