Abstract

Angular distributions have been measured for the Li6(Li6, Li6(3.56)*)Li6(3.56)* and the Li6(Li6, He6)Be6 reactions at laboratory bombarding energies of 32 and 36 MeV, and excitation functions have been measured at 88° in the center of mass. All final-state nuclei are members of the same T=1 isomultiplet and according to charge independence, the two reactions should have equal cross sections. Large differences in the cross sections of the two reactions are observed indicating that charge-dependent effects are important. For example at 32 MeV the ratio of the two cross sections, Li6(Li6, Li*6)Li*6/Li6(Li6, He6)Be6, oscillates with angle, varying in magnitude from 0.17 to greater than 1.65.
