Description
This talk will outline the current state of the analysis investigating proposed rotational bands in 18O. These bands, some of which are expected to have 12C ⦻ 2n ⦻ α or 14C ⦻ α structures, were proposed to exist by previous measurements at the Maier-Leibnitz Laboratory [1]. To determine the absolute α-particle decay widths of those states, we performed an experiment, also at the Maier-Leibnitz Laboratory. We used a similar set-up,but in addition included an array of silicon detectors. The latter allowed for high-resolution reconstruction of the momenta and energies of decay products, as well as particle
identification.
