Abstract

Coulomb-nuclear interference studies of ¹⁶⁸Yb and ^178,180Hf have been carried out with alpha particles from the Pittsburgh tandem. From coupled channel fits to the data at 18 MeV for ¹⁶⁸Yb and 19.5 MeV for ^178,180Hf, beta ₄^c values of -0.030(20), -0.166(18), and -0.180(6) were obtained, respectively. These data agree with the positive M₀₄ value from sub-Coulomb studies of ¹⁶⁸Yb but with the large negative M₀₄ values from sub-Coulomb studies of ^178,180Hf.
