Energy dependence of inelastic proton scattering to the 3/sup -/, 2. 614 MeV state in /sup 208/Pb

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
The recent work of McDaniels et al. regarding the inelastic excitation of the 3/sup -/ state at 2.614 MeV in /sup 208/Pb by protons with energies between 100 and 800 MeV has been expanded with the inclusion of the data at other proton energies down to approx.35 MeV. It is found that the deformation length, delta, for this state, extracted using the collective distorted-wave Born approximation formalism, remains nearly the same in the energy region between 35 and 800 MeV. Combining the delta values determined from the (p,p') measurements with those obtained from the electromagnetic methods, the ratio of the neutron and proton transition matrix elements (M/sub n//M/sub p/) has been determined for this state.
