Abstract
The reaction was studied at incident proton energies of 12, 14, and 16 MeV. Detection of both the and particles in the lab defined angular distributions from about 10 to 170° c.m. The data taken as well as existing data at 8, 10, and 18.5 MeV were analyzed using a finite-range multi-interaction distorted-wave Born-approximation formalism to determine the importance of clustering in the nucleus as well as the importance of various reaction mechanisms. Reduced widths of 0.69 for in a relative state, 0.04 for in a relative state, and 0.44 for in a relative state provided fits to the data at 12, 14, 16, and 18.5 MeV.
