(Isoscalar quadrupole resonances in /sup 90,96/Zr and /sup 112,118,124/Sn by inelastic scattering of /sup 17/O ions): Foreign trip report, November 5--December 13, 1988

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5850882
The traveler participated in an ORNL Physics Division experiment at GANIL, Caen, France, to measure the isoscalar quadrupole resonances in /sup 90,96/Zr and /sup 112,118,124/Sn by inelastic scattering of /sup 17/O ions. The traveler coordinated setup of the experimental conditions for data accumulation and supervised and participated in data analysis. This experiment was feasible because the use of 84-MeV/nucleon heavy-ion beams, available only at GANIL, yielded large cross sections for which interference between Coulomb and nuclear excitation provided a signature for deducing the isospin character of the resonance. This experiment was a collaboration with researchers from ORNL, GANIL, and Saclay. The traveler also presented invited seminars entitled ''The Time for the Study of Giant Resonances with Heavy Ions Has Arrived'' at GANIL and at the INFN, Naples. At the INFN, the traveler discussed results of data obtained in an experiment at ORNL pertaining to the two-octupole-phonon excitation in /sup 208/Pb.
