does this question belong in the advanced physics forum?

Part B is now very clear to me; however, I did not fully follow the line of thought listed in the bottom of the above comment. The given kinetic energy of the alpha particle beam is 5 MeV, not 5000 MeV. I could be wrong, but I believe part A may have only one answer?

Homework Statement It is desired to study the low-lying excited states of 35Cl (1.219, 1.763, 2.646, 2.694, 3.003, 3.163 MeV) through the 32S (alpha,proton) reaction. a) With incident alpha particles of 5.000 MeV, which of these excited states can be reached? b) Again with 5.000 MeV incident...
