Abstract

The ¹²C(¹²C,⁸Be+⁸Be) ⁸Be reaction has been studied with 18 beam energies from 82 to 120 MeV. The detection of four of the six final-state α-particles in an array of eight 16-element strip detectors permitted the full reconstruction of the reaction kinematics. ¹⁶O excitation energy spectra spanning 19-40 MeV were measured, which provided evidence for ¹⁶O excited states up to 35.1 MeV. Angular correlation analysis indicates the dominant spins are 6 and 8 ℏ, possibly extending to 10 ℏ at the highest excitation energies. The resulting energy-spin systematics are compared with the predictions of the a cluster model and cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations.
