Abstract

Total cross sections of the light heavy-ion reactions 16O(6Li, pi)21Ne, i = 0–10, have been measured for beam energies ELi = 4.5–8.0 MeV in steps of 100 keV. Additional excitation functions of the inclusive reactions 16O(6Li, xγ), x = p, n and α, were taken for ELi = 4.1–12.5 MeV. The 6Li + 16O reaction can be understood as a predominant compound-nucleus process as extensive Hauser-Feshbach calculations show. A comprehensive statistical analysis yields a coherence width Γ = 130 ± 20 keV for Ex(22Na) ≈ 19 MeV. Statistically significant deviations from pure fluctuation phenomena are found in most excitation functions at Ex(22Na) = 17.9, 18.4, 19.2 and 20.2 MeV. Interpreting these structures with widths 400 ≤ Γtot ≤ 800 keV as intermediate-width resonances in terms of a rotational band, tentative spin assignments can be given.
