Abstract

The long-standing theoretical problem associated with backward hemisphere scattering between heavy ions is approached, for the particular case of 16O + 28Si, in a multichannel formalism involving the coupling of elastic waves to the rotational band of 28Si. The strong coupling description obtained exploits a volatility of the excited 2+,4+,6+ states at backward angles. This molecular-like description, although achieved for energies near the Coulomb barrier, is clearly universal, extendable to higher energies and to other systems including lighter ones such as 12C + 16O.
