Elasticp+12C scattering between 0.3 and 2 MeV

Absolute differential cross-sections ofp+¹²C elastic scattering have been measured at_cm=89.1°, 118.7°, 146.9° for bombarding energies between 0.3 and 2.0 MeV. Revised level parameters of the first three excited states in¹³N have been extracted with aR-matrix analysis. It is shown that the influence of the bound ground-state of¹³N has an appreciable effect on low-energy scattering. Recent predictions concerning Mott-Schwinger polarization are also discussed.
