Abstract
The excitation function of above the -decay threshold has been measured for the first time using the resonant scattering of particles with the technique of a thick target in inverse kinematics. Thirteen new states are reported between and MeV, and suggestions for spin-parity assignments are given for two of these. Calculations of the branching ratio to decay for these states as well as comparison of the measured cross sections to calculations suggest that clustering is not dominant in this energy regime.
