Abstract
The in-plane α 1− γ angular correlation of the reaction 24Mg(α, αγ) has been studied at a bombarding energy of 104 MeV. Double differential cross sections have been measured for 126 pairs of angles by use of a multidetector arrangement consisting of four Si(Li) particle detectors and two Ge(Li) γ-detectors. The correlation data are described very well by coupled channel calculations on the basis of a symmetric rotator model. A strong sensitivity to the sign of the quadrupole deformation has been found. This sensitivity proves to be nearly independent of the potential parameters. The main features of the observed prolate-oblate effects can be understood in the framework of a simple diffraction model.
