Abstract
An experimental survey has been made of the elastic and inelastic scattering of by at a laboratory energy of 127 MeV. Inelastic scattering is found to occur for (1) MeV (exciting the 4.4-MeV level of ), (2) MeV [a combination of (a) exciting the 9.65-MeV level of and (b) exciting both nuclei to their 4.4-MeV levels], (3) MeV (exciting the 14.05-MeV level of ), and (4) possibly MeV (exciting a level, or levels near 19 MeV). Angular distributions of the elastically and inelastically scattered nuclei have been obtained between 14° and 39° in the center-of-mass system. The elastic and MeV inelastic distributions show large oscillations which are out of phase in agreement with Blair's phase rule. The MeV distribution, on the other hand, has no oscillations larger than a maximum to minimum ratio of 1.5 to 1.
