“…In order to minimize uncertainties due to hysteresis effects in the analyzing magnet, we biased the target ladder from 21 to 15 kV to produce our excitation functions, rather than changing the beam energy [20]. Approximately 7 keV higher than the s 1 2 , T 3͞2 ͑G ഠ 0.1 keV͒ resonance lies a f 7 2 , T 1͞2 ͑G ഠ 1 keV͒ resonance [9,10] which is much more noticeable than the resonance of interest given our beam energy resolution of ഠ1 keV. So we fixed our analyzing magnetic field to yield protons approximately 2 keV higher than the f 7 2 , T 1͞2 resonance, found the resonance only using bias in the target ladder, and then switched the beam to measure its energy via 16 O͑p, g͒.…”
