Abstract

An experiment using the B-11(He-3,d)C-12 reaction was performed at iThemba LABS at an incident energy of 44 MeV and analyzed with a high energy-resolution magnetic spectrometer, to reinvestigate states in C-12 published in 1971. The original investigation reported the existence of an 11.16 MeV state in C-12 that displays a 2(+) nature. In the present experiment, data were acquired at laboratory angles of 25 degrees, 30 degrees, and 35 degrees, which is part of the center-of-mass (c.m.) angle range in the original measurements where a clear signature of such a state was observed. These new low-background measurements revealed no evidence of the previously reported state at 11.16 MeV in C-12.
