Excitation of the high energy nuclear continuum inPb208by 22 MeV/nucleonO17andS32

Abstract
The Pb208 high excitation continuum has been studied using inelastic scattering of 22 MeV/nucleon O17 and S32. The spectra, taken with a magnetic spectrograph, show no evidence for peaks in the 30100 MeV region of excitation in contrast to published results. The O17 spectra are found to be remarkably similar to those from medium energy proton scattering.
