Abstract
Our earlier methods of interpretation of the resonances in ion-ion scattering (such as 12C + 12C, 12C + 16O, or 16O + 16O where they appear both experimentally and via optical-model calculations) in terms of nuclear surface waves are applied to the case of α-40Ca scattering. The optical-model resonance results of Brink et al. are here extended in order to render them suitable for a surface-wave picture as well. Recent experimental results on 12C + 12C scattering are used to demonstrate the existence of surface waves of both Rayleigh and whispering gallery type in this system.
