Inelastic Scattering of 19-Mev Protons by O16
Abstract
The NaI scintillation spectroscopy of the proton groups from the inelastic scattering of 19-Mev protons by O16 yielded levels in O16 at 6.14, 7.02, 8.87, 9.85, 10.34, 11.08, 11.51, 12.02, 12.53, 13.06, and possibly 13.39 Mev, with an error of +/-30 kev. The levels at 8.87 and 11.08 Mev are probably 2- in character and are found to decay by γ rays cascading through the states at 6 and 7 Mev. The relatively weakly excited level at 12.02 Mev is probably accompanied by γ-ray emission. Differential cross sections for most inelastic groups are also given.
