Abstract
The 90° yield of rays to the ground state from the reaction has been measured for proton energies between 12 and 19.5 Mev covering the region of excitation in between 18 and 25 Mev. The excitation curve is quite flat (with at sr), and shows little evidence of the giant resonance. The results for are compared to those for obtained by Jacobs and Stephens by means of the reaction. The 90° yield of rays to the ground state from the reaction has been measured for proton energies between 10 and 15 Mev, corresponding to excitation energies between 21 and 26 Mev. The excitation curve shows two large resonances peaked at 21.8 and 24.7 Mev with integral total cross sections of about 0.27 Mev-mb each if no background is assumed. The results are compared to theoretical calculations of Elliott and Flowers and of others.
