Abstract: The reaction 12C(7Li, t)16O has been studied at E(7Li) = 34 MeV with the LASL tandem accelerator and QDDD magnetic spectrometer. Angular distributions to levels with Ex J[pi] = 1- levels, which are of great importance in stellar helium buring, yields a ratio, R, of dimensionless reduced [alpha]-widths [theta]2a(7.1 MeV)/[theta]2a(9.6 MeV) = 0.35b +/- 0.13. The observed line width of the 9.6 MeV level ([Gamma]c.m. = 390 +/- 60 keV) is less than the accepted value ([Gamma]c.m. = 510 +/- 60 keV) and implies [theta]2a(9.6 MeV) [approximate] 0.6. These results as well as data for the 6.92 MeV J[pi] = 2+ and 10.35 MeV J[pi] = 4+ "[alpha]-cluster" states indicate 0.09 2a(7.1 MeV) 2a(7.1 MeV) = 0.14 +/- 0.04. The implication for stellar helium burning is discussed.
