Structures in the excitation functions of high lying inelastic channels of the ¹⁶O+ ¹⁶O system in the region Ec.m. = 26 to 47 MeV

An excitation function measurement has been performed over the laboratory range 52-94 MeV investigating resonance phenomena in the single excitation O-16 (O-16, O-16(*) --> C-12(g.s).+ alpha) O-16(g.s.) breakup reaction. A number of enhancements are observed in these excitation functions for excitation to the 4(1)(+) 10.35 MeV and 4(2)(+), 11.09 MeV excited states in O-16. The overlap between these and previously measured enhancements is discussed. Excitation functions for the 2(2)(+), 9.84 MeV and 2(3)(+), 11.52 MeV excited states are also presented.
