Compound and quasi-compound states in low-energy scattering of nucleons   from 12C
  A multi-channel algebraic scattering theory has been used to study the properties of nucleon scattering from 12C and of the sub-threshold compound nuclear states, accounting for properties in the compound nuclei to ~10 MeV. All compound and quasi-compound resonances observed in total cross-section data are matched, and on seeking solutions of the method at negative energies, all sub-threshold states in 13C and 13N are predicted with the correct spin-parities and with reasonable values for their energies. A collective-model prescription has been used to define the initiating nucleon-12C interactions and via use of orthogonalizing pseudo-potentials, account is made of the Pauli principle. Information is extracted on the underlying structure of each state in the compound systems by investigating the zero-deformation limit of the results.
