A nonrelativistic distorted wave Born approximation analysis, using a phenomenological effective proton-nucleon interaction to generate both optical and transition potentials, is made of new 500 MeV (p-arrow-right,p') data for excitation of low-lying states in /sup 40/Ca, /sup 48/Ca, /sup 90/Zr, and /sup 208/Pb. The data, differential cross section and analyzing power angular distributions for 5/sup 0/ less than or equal to theta/sub c.m./ less than or equal to 30/sup 0/, are well described using this effective interaction. Calculations using the impulse approximation to generate the optical and transition potentials do not adequately describe the data. As a further test of the 500 MeV empirical effective interaction, model-dependent neutron transition densities are deduced for excitations which are expected to be purely isoscalar, such as the first 3/sup -/ states of /sup 40/Ca and /sup 208/Pb. These are found to be qualitatively similar in strength and overall shape to the renormalized (x N/Z) model-independent proton densities determined from analysis of (e,e') data. Model-dependent neutron transition densities are also deduced for other excitations and are in reasonable agreement with results of analyses of other hadron plus nucleus scattering data. These results indicate that the 500 MeV isoscalar effective interaction is better than the free proton-nucleon scattering amplitudes (impulse approximation) as a starting point for analysis of (p,p') data aimed at detailed extraction of neutron transition densities and other nuclear structure information.
