⁸Be + ⁸Be and ¹²C + α breakup states in ¹⁶O populated via the ¹³C(⁴He, 4α)n reaction

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ¹³C(α, ¹⁶O), E=22.0, 27.0, 27.5, 28.0 MeV; measured reaction products using four position-sensitive double-sided Si strip detectors, at Notre Dame FN Tandem accelerator facility. ¹⁶O; deduced levels identified through the ⁸Be+⁸Be and ¹²C*+α channels, J, π, centroids, cross sections. Comparison with previous studies using ¹²C(α, ⁸Be)⁸Be and ¹²C(¹⁶O, 4α)¹²C reactions. Relevance to 4α chain structure in ¹⁶O.
