Abstract
Proton groups from the reaction leading to levels up to 16.2-Mev excitation were analyzed with a broad-range spectrograph. At a bombarding energy of 3.74-Mev spectra were taken at 11 angles from 5 to 139 degrees. Levels were found at excitation energies of 4.43(7), 7.655±0.006, 9.645±0.006, 10.849±0.025, 11.841±0.025, 12.713±0.006, 13.29±0.03, 14.083±0.015, 15.108±0.006, and 16.108±0.006 Mev. Widths of the 9.6-, 10.8-, 11.8-, 13.3-, and 14.1-Mev levels are 35±6, 320±30, 245±30, 430±100, and 252±15 kev respectively. Widths of the other levels are less than 15 kev. No levels were found at excitations of 9.0, 11.1, or 15.6 Mev. A level 2 Mev wide at 10.1-Mev excitation would not have been seen above the high background from three-particle breakup. Yields at each angle were measured relative to the yield of the reaction. An angular distribution of this reaction was obtained. Absolute differential cross sections were found by comparing the yields with the known yield from the reaction. Cross sections for the reaction vary from 0.02 mb/sr to 0.6 mb/sr.
