Levels of Cl33 from S32(p, p)S32 and S32(p, pγ)S32

Abstract
Differential cross sections for the elastic scattering of protons from S32 have been measured for the center-of-mass scattering angles 167.8°, 141.0°, 125.5°, 92.0°, and 63.9° for laboratory proton energies between 1.5 and 4.0 Mev. The cross sections for inelastic scattering to the 2.237-Mev level of S32 were also studied for incident proton energies between 2.7 and 3.8 Mev. These data were analyzed in terms of the single-level approximation of the dispersion theory. The results yield the following resonance energies (Mev) and assignments of spin and parity for the levels of the compound nucleus Cl33: 1.900 (32), 2.310 (½), 2.578 (52, 72), 2.810* (32), 2.895 (½), 2.902* (52, 72), 2.917* (32+), 3.094* (52), 3.195* (52+), 3.273 (½+), 3.379* (72), 3.480 (32), 3.570 (½+), and 3.716* (52). Those resonances which exhibit observable widths for inelastic scattering are designated in the above tabulation by an asterisk. The analysis of the angular dependence of the inelastic cross sections supports the assignment 2+ to the first excited state of S32.
