Refractive effects and Airy structure in inelastic ¹⁶O + ¹²C rainbow scattering

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ¹²C(¹⁶O, ¹⁶O)(¹⁶O, ¹⁶O'), E=170, 181, 200, 260, 281 MeV; measured particle spectra, σ(E, θ) Jyvaskyla University cyclotron facility; analyzed by coupled-channels method using an extended double folding (EDF) model, and taking into account g.s., first 2+ and 3- states of ¹²C and ¹⁶O; ¹²C(¹⁶O, ¹⁶O), (¹⁶O, ¹⁶O'), E=200, 330, 350, 400, 450, 500, 608 MeV; calculated σ(E, θ) distributions for elastic scattering and inelastic scattering to the first 2+ state in ¹²C. Comparison with available experimental data; deduced Airy minima in elastic scattering and in inelastic (rainbow) scattering to the first 2+ state of ¹²C.
