RESONANT STRUCTURES IN MG-24 + SI-28 ELASTIC AND INELASTIC-SCATTERING

The data on the excitation functions of24Mg+28Si elastic and inelastic (2+ -0+, 2+ -2+, 4+ -0+ and 4+ -2+) scattering from Ec.m.=48.97 to 57.21 MeV have been subjected to a statistical analysis consisting of the calculations of deviation function, cross-correlation function, summed excitation function, cross-channel correlation coefficients, coherence widths, and the distribution of cross sections. Based on the outcome of the analysis resonant structures at Ec.m.=49.23, 50.02, 50.51, 52.10, 52.53, 53.27 and 54.14 MeV have been confirmed and three new structures of the same nature have been identified at Ec.m.=51.42, 54.88 and 55.60 MeV. © 1990 Springer-Verlag.
