Measurement of alpha‐widths in 16O relevant to astrophysics

Several different α‐transfer reactions, 12C→16O, have been studied at high bombarding energies with magnetic spectrometers. Line‐widths, α‐spectroscopic factors, Sα, and reduced α‐widths, γα2 and ϑα2, have been determined for levels in 16O, including several of importance in astrophysics.
