Abstract

The lowest T=32 state of F17 has been observed in the isospin-forbidden O16(p,p)O16 reaction, where anomalies have been found in the elastic channel and in the inelastic channels to the 6.13- and 7.12-MeV states of O16. The partial width Γp0 of this state as obtained from a phase-shift analysis of the elastic data is Γp0=(4020+10) eV. The excitation energies of both the lowest and the next higher T=32 states have been determined by using the C12(α,n)O15 threshold and a Mg24(α,γ)Si28 resonance as calibration points. Values of Ex=11.202±0.008 MeV (Ep=11.276±0.008 MeV) and 12.554±0.008 MeV (Ep=12.714±0.008 MeV) have been obtained, in agreement with the positions determined from the N15(He3,n)F17 reaction. The second T=32 state is well suited as an energy calibration point for accelerators.
