M. Lattuada et al., RESONANCES IN THE C-12(C-12,BE-8(G.S.))O-16 REACTION AND ROTATIONAL STATES IN MG-24, Nuovo cimento della Società Italiana di Fisica. A. Nuclei, particles and fields, 110(9-10), 1997, pp. 1007-1014
The results of a set of experiments on the C-12 + C-12 --> Be-8(g.s.)
+ O-16 excitation function between 20 and 36 MeV c.m. beam energy are
summarized and discussed. A set of 1 MeV wide resonances shows up in t
he energy range investigated, all of them following the rotational rul
e with a coefficient of inertia consistent with a alpha - O-16 - alpha
configuration.
