Fine structure and spin excitations in the giant resonance region of /sup 90/Zr

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
Cross sections, analyzing powers, and spin-flip probabilities have been measured at small angles in the reaction /sup 90/Zr(p,p')/sup 90/Zr* at 319 MeV. A rich fine structure is observed in the previously proposed M1 giant resonance region; angular distributions of most of these structures are consistent with M1 excitation. The spin-flip measurements reveal a large cross section for spin excitations distributed roughly uniformly over the excitation energy region from about 8 to 25 MeV.
