²¹Ne from ¹²C (¹⁰B,p)

The ¹²C (¹⁰B,p)²¹Ne reaction has been investigated at an incident energy of 20 MeV. Complete angular distributions were measured in the angular range lab=7.5°161.25°using a multiangle spectrograph. Angular distributions for states in ²¹Ne up to 6.75 MeV excitation are found to be symmetric around 90°. Results have been analyzed in terms of Hauser-Feshbach compound-nucleus calculations. A simple analysis of the angle-integrated cross sections versus (2J+1) shows that the (2J+1) rule holds for states with angular momenta up to (7/2). States with higher J are significantly enhanced due to kinematical conditions. The Hauser-Feshbach calculations account fairly well for the high-J enhancement of tot.
