Excitation of unnatural-parity states in /sup 12/C by 800-MeV polarized protons

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

Cross sections and analyzing powers have been measured for 800-MeV proton inelastic transitions to unnatural-parity states in /sup 12/C. Data for the 15.11-MeV 1/sup +/, T=1 state are well explained by a distorted-wave impulse-approximation calculation based on proton-neutron charge-exchange cross sections. Negative analyzing powers were observed for the first time at 800 MeV, for the 12.71-MeV 1/sup +/, T=0 state. Values of A/sub y/ appear to be characteristic of the isospin transfer, and support isospin assignments for states of 18.3 and 19.4 MeV.
