Isoscalar giant resonances in /sup 232/Th

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
The giant resonance region in /sup 232/Th has been studied with inelastic ..cap alpha.. scattering at E/sub ..cap alpha../=120 MeV. The observed resonance peak can be fitted with one Gaussian peak centered at 11.0 +- 0.3 MeV with full width at half maximum equal to 4.0 +- 0.3 MeV. If pure L=2, this peak would exhaust (130 +- 25) % of the E2 energy-weighted sum rule. Considerable admixture of L=0 and/or higher multipole strength could be accommodated, if only 60 --80% of the E2 energy-weighted sum rule is assumed to be exhausted.
