Beene, J R; Bertrand, F E

The role of intermediate energy heavy ions in the study of giant multipole resonances is explored, with emphasis on gamma decay coincidence experiments. Experiments on /sup 208/Pb bombarded by 84 MeV/nucleon /sup 17/O are discussed and compared with earlier work at 22 MeV/nucleon. The role of Coulomb excitation in the 84 MeV/nucleon data is emphasized and some consequences for study of isovector resonance strength are explored. A comparison of the excitation and decay of the isovector giant dipole resonance in /sup 208/Pb and /sup 209/Bi excited with 84 MeV/nucleon /sup 17/O scattering is presented. 35 refs., 16 figs., 1 tab.
