Magnetic substate populations for the 2+ state at 4.44 MeV in C were measured in resonant C+ 0 inelastic scattering by the p-ray recoil method. The m-substate population has been determined in the coordinate frame where a quantization axis is taken along the center of mass scattering angle of a reaction product. This coordinate frame gives an advantage that a resonance spin J can be obtained directly from m-substate angular distributions compared with the beam-axis frame. In addition a decay L value is sensitive to the relative intensity between each m-substate cross section. Our data suggest a spin assignment of J = 16+ or 17 for the structures at E, = 29.8 MeV and 31.8 MeV. Both structures are determined to decay dominantly through the aligned con6guration of L = J -2. PACS number(s): 25.70.Ef, 24.70.+s, 21.10.Hw Recent measurements of the magnetic substate populations in resonant inelastic scattering have provided us with important information for clarifying the reaction mechanism on the observed resonance behavior [1 -7].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
