Many 2-parameter spectra have been taken, both around the 8 Be* recoil axes and at selected angles away from the recoil axes. Coplanar and non-coplanar cases for the three a-particles have been studied. Preliminary analysis yields results similar to those found previously for the higher bombarding energies. Strong sequential decay through the 8 Be* states is observed with very little or no evidence for direct 3~a decay.69 ppengCopyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
