Properties of low-lying levels of 45Sc

The spins and electromagnetic properties of levels up to 1800 keV in 45Sc were studied by means of inelastic proton scattering. Results are discussed with reference to the excited-core model. © 1974.Articl

Resonant backward-angle heavy-ion elastic scattering

We observe strong structure in the excitation functions of C12 + Si28 backward-angle scattering. Angular distributions at the peaks of the elastic excitation function are of the form PJ2(cosθ) [approximately J=15 (Ec.m.=23.3 MeV), J=18 (Ec.m.=26.0 MeV), and J=18 (Ec.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. © 1978 The American Physical Society.Articl
