title = "Deep-inelastic back-angle yields and orbiting in 28Si + 12C",
abstract = "Evidence for a long-lived orbiting complex has been found in large-angle measurements of strongly damped reaction products from the 28Si + 12C interaction. The well-known backward rise in the elastic yield is mirrored, but with much larger cross sections, in processes involving strong damping of the total kinetic energy. The average kinetic energy loss is independent of angle beyond θcm = 140°, and varies smoothly with bombarding energy with a slope characteristic of the orbiting two-body moment of inertia.",

note = "Funding Information: Large cross sections have been observed recently in inelastic scattering yields near 180 ° populating highly excited states in 20Ne + 12C interactions \[5\],a nd it has been suggested that these reflect an orbiting phenomenon. If a long-lived rotating di-nuclear complex is in- i On leave from Physikalisches Institut der Universit/it, Heidelberg, Germany. 2 Present address: Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, Building 88, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA. 3 Operated by Union Carbide Corporation under contract W-7405-eng-26 with the US Department of Energy.",
