Abstract
Recent precision measurements of the interfering levels in at 16.6 and 16.9 MeV are in good agreement with a simple two-level formula with interference when it is properly corrected for the effects of final-state Coulomb interactions. The widths used in the formula are keV and keV. It is not necessary to assume that the components of the wave functions are excited in the reactions and . Using the latter reaction, it is shown that the background is too small to have an appreciable effect on the spectral shape for the two levels.
