Title: Elastic and inelastic scattering of /sup 58/Ni+/sup 208/Pb at bombarding energies from 598 to 1011 MeV

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

High-resolution measurements have been made of elastic and inelastic scattering of /sup 58/Ni+ /sup 208/Pb at four bombarding energies from 10.3 to 17.4 MeV/nucleon. The considerable inelastic strength observed for excitation energies up to at least 7 MeV is dominated by Coulomb-driven quadrupole transitions. Analyses were done using both the distorted-wave Born approximation and coupled-channels models. At the highest bombarding energies the data can be described equally well by distorted-wave Born approximations and coupled channels analyses. We find that B(E2) = 0.062 e/sup 2/b/sup 2/ for the 1.454 MeV 2/sup +/ state in /sup 58/Ni and B(E2) = 0.34 e/sup 2/b/sup 2/ for the 4.09 MeV 2/sup +/ state in /sup 208/Pb.
