Popis: The 16O(α,α′) reaction was studied at θlab=0∘ at an incident energy of Elab=200 MeV using the K600 magnetic spectrometer at iThemba LABS. Proton decay and α decay from the natural parity states were observed in a large-acceptance silicon strip detector array at backward angles. The coincident charged-particle measurements were used to characterize the decay channels of the 0+6 state in 16O located at Ex=15.097(5) MeV. This state is identified by several theoretical cluster calculations to be a good candidate for the 4−α cluster state. The results of this work suggest the presence of a previously unidentified resonance at Ex≈15 MeV that does not exhibit a 0+ character. This unresolved resonance may have contaminated previous observations of the 0+6 state. ispartof: Physical Review C vol:95 issue:3 status: published
