Abstract

γ-ray excitation functions have been measured for several residual nuclei in the C12 + O16 system, from Ec.m.=12.2 to 15.0 MeV in steps of ∼ 27 keV. In addition to three known resonances, a fine correlated structure is found superimposed over a broad resonance, as suggested by the mechanism of a fragmented shape resonance. The data may also be interpreted to indicate that the system decays via two different paths.
