Abstract
+ elastic-scattering angular distributions have been measured at several energies, and an excitation function has been obtained at 70° center of mass from MeV. The + data are greatly damped compared with + data in this energy range. This demonstrates that the absorption is not determined primarily by compound-nuclear properties. The differences are interpreted in terms of the more favorable angular-momentum matching conditions for the + direct-reaction channels.
