The selectivity of the 10B + 10B reactions in populating different states of neighboring nuclei was studied at beam energies of 50.0 and 72.2 MeV. The peculiar structure of 10B, which can be described as a mixture of shell model and cluster configurations of the type 6Ligs + α or 6Li(0+2, 1) + α [1], together with a high spin of the ground state Jπ = 3+, enabled the population of various high-spin and high-excitation energy states in nuclei around A = 10. We report and discuss the new and rarely observed states populated in 12,13C, 14N, and 16O.
