Excitation of collective nuclear states by high energy particles

Journal Article · · Nucl. Phys., A, v. A219, no. 3, pp. 525-542
The excitation of collective nuclear states by high energy particles is considered within the framework of the Glauber theory. The approach is based on the adiabatic approximation and expansion of the scattering amplitude in powers of the nonsphericity parameter. The formulas for the excitation cross sections of the rotational and one- and two-phonon vibrational states, as well as the elastic scattering cross section with the collective motion included, are obtained. The effect of nucleon correlations in both elastic and inulastic cross sections is also studied. The theoretical predictions are compared to new data on 1 GeV proton scattering by /sup 58/Ni, /sup 208/Pb /sup 12/C, /sup 40/Ca and / sup 39/K. A comparison with electron scattering da ta is simultaneously carried out. (auth)
