Transverse isoscalar excitations in /sup 24/Mg by 180/sup 0/ electron scattering

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
Transverse electron scattering form factors have been measured for isoscalar transitions to T = 0 levels in /sup 24/Mg at 1.37 MeV (J/sup ..pi../ = 2/sup +/), 5.24 MeV (3/sup +/), 6.01 MeV (4/sup +/), and for the unresolved T = 0 doublet at 4.12 MeV (4/sup +/) and 4.24 MeV (2/sup +/). Because of the large longitudinal form factors for these transitions, sometimes exceeding the transverse form factor by more than a factor of 10/sup 4/, it was necessary to observe electrons scattered at 180/sup 0/ so that longitudinal scattering was minimized. Several incident energies from 80.1 to 200.5 MeV were used to span effective momentum transfers from 0.84 to 2.07 fm/sup -1/. Results are compared with predictions calculated using Dirac wave functions for the nuclear bound states in a Woods-Saxon potential well.
