Abstract

A comparison of elastic scattering and total reaction cross-section data in the region of the $9^{-}$ , 14.7-MeV resonance in ${}^{16}O$ + ${}^{12}C$ is presented. The comparison provides firm evidence that there is very little background absorption of the $l = 9$ partial wave. The implications are discussed. A partial-width decomposition of the resonance is made.
