E0 strength in 12C from 6Li scattering.

The (/sup 6/Li,/sup 6/Li') reaction was studied on /sup 12/C at E/sub Li/ = 156 MeV at extreme forward angles including theta = 0/sup 0/. Spectra were taken in the excitation energy region E/sub x/approx. <30 MeV. E0 strength was deduced at E/sub x/ = 7.65 MeV (9.5% energy weighted sum rule) around E/sub x/ = 10.2 MeV (5% +- 1% energy weighted sum rule) and in the region 19 MeVless than or equal toE/sub x/less than or equal to21.5 MeV (5% +- 2% energy weighted sum rule).
