| dc.description.abstract | The 0¹⁶O(α,α′) reaction was studied at θlab=0∘ at an incident energy of Elab=200 MeV using the K600 magnetic spectrometer at iThemba LABS. Proton decay and α decay from the natural parity states were observed in a large-acceptance silicon strip detector array at backward angles. The coincident charged-particle measurements were used to characterize the decay channels of the 0⁺₆ state in ¹⁶O located at Ex=15.097(5) MeV. This state is identified by several theoretical cluster calculations to be a good candidate for the 4−α cluster state. The results of this work suggest the presence of a previously unidentified resonance at Ex≈15 MeV that does not exhibit a 0⁺ character. This unresolved resonance may have contaminated previous observations of the 0⁺₆ state. | en_ZA |
