␣-Particle singles and doubles yields for the reaction of 9 Beϩ 208 Pb have been measured from below to well above the fusion barrier energy. These yields have been reproduced by calculations including both neutron transfer and inelastic excitation. The calculations predict breakup cross sections to persist to very low energies, where the latter process dominates.

The 16 O( 16 O, 12 C 16 O)␣ reaction has been studied at incident energies of 90 and 97 MeV. States in 28 Si are reconstructed over the excitation energy range 22-45 MeV, and the spins of six states, ranging from 9 Ϫ to 17 Ϫ , were obtained from angular correlation measurements. A comparison of these breakup states with scattering resonances indicates that some of the breakup states lie below the locus of the 12 Cϩ 16 O scattering resonances, and may belong to a highly deformed band with a rotational parameter of (42Ϯ5) keV and a bandhead energy of E x ϭ(26.3Ϯ0.9) MeV.
