Measurement of elastic ¹²C + α scattering: Above the proton separation energy

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ¹²C(α, α), E=2.6-8.2 MeV; measured Eα, Iα, σ(E, θ). ¹²C(α, α'), (α, p), E=6.6-8.2 MeV; analyzed σ(E, θ) data. ¹⁶O; deduced resonances, levels, J, π, α and proton widths. R-matrix analysis. Relevance to CNO cycle.
