Description

We have employed the line shape analysis technique to study nuclear spin alignment produced in the 12C+16O reaction populating the 2+ 4.43-MeV state in 12C. We present excitation functions of m-substate population P (m) measured in the range E/sub c.m./=19--22.6 MeV and detailed angular distributions of P (m) obtained at E/sub c.m./=21.7, 21.9, and 22.3 MeV. Results have been analyzed in terms of a single resonance with sharp spin in the compound nucleus and found to contradict previous spin assignment based on studies of angular distributions of cross section in the E/sub c.m./ approx. = 22 to 22.6-MeV region
