Abstract
Angular distributions for the scattering of helions to the , , and members of the ground-state rotational band of were measured at 17.83 MeV. An optical-model analysis of the elastic scattering was performed as well as a coupled-channels analysis of the inelastic data. Good agreement between the coupled-channels calculations and the experimental data was found for the data, with in the range 0.42 to 0.48. These calculations gave a poor description of the data, but from the shape of the angular distributions an upper limit of 0.05 for was assigned.
