Large Angle Oscillations in Heavy Ion Elastic Scattering and Continuum VMI Rotational Band Structures

摘要

Analysis of ''problem'' angular distributions for exp 16 O + exp 28 Si elastic scattering over a range of energies gives evidence of a continuum band structure having an energy-vs.-spin dependence of (l(l + 1))/sup exp 2 / sub 3 / which can be obtained from the variable moment of inertia (VMI) collective rotational model. This suggests a model for continuum resonances which is applied to elastic scattering data with some success. Other applications of the model are discussed. (ERA citation 04:009165)
