Abstract
Excitation functions for the production of the 2.74, 6.13, 6.92, and 7 .12 MeV gamma rays by inelastic proton scattering on O-16 have been me asured in steps of 200-500 keV for proton energies E-p = 8.4-20 MeV. F or the 4.44 MeV gamma rays of C-12 produced by inelastic proton scatte ring on C-12 data have been obtained for proton energies E-p = 8.4-14 MeV and at E-p = 17.25, 18.25, and 19.75 MeV. Eight high efficiency Ge detectors with anti-Compton shielding for the gamma-ray detection wer e used to obtain the laboratory gamma-angular distributions. The resul ts of Legendre polynom fits to these distributions are discussed and p resented in suitable form for use in gamma-ray astronomy. [S0556-2813( 98)02310-3].
