Abstract
The 10.15 MeV resonance in has been probed via resonant elastic scattering. It is demonstrated that it is the member of a rotational band built on the 6.18 MeV state. A of 0.10–0.13 MeV and were deduced. The corresponding reduced width, , indicates one of the largest -cluster spectroscopic factors known. The deformation of the band, including the 7.54 MeV, member, is large (). Such a deformation and the significant degree of clusterization signals a well-developed molecular structure.
