Isoscalar Giant Resonance Strengths in $^{32}$S and possible excitations of superdeformed and $^{28}$Si + $α$ cluster bandheads

Abstract

Isoscalar giant resonances and low spin states in $^{32}$S have been measured with inelastic $α$ scattering at extremely forward angles including zero degrees at E$_α$ = 386 MeV. By applying the multipole decomposition analysis, various excited states are classified according to their spin and parities (J$^π$), and are discussed in relation to the super deformed and $^{28}$Si + $α$ cluster bands.
