Giant resonance strength distribution in /sup 40/Ca from inelastic scattering of 500 MeV protons

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
Differential cross section measurements have been made for the giantresonance region (13.2--40 MeV) in /sup 40/Ca using 500 MeVprotons with an experimental energy resolution of 70 keV. Fine structure wasobserved in this energy region. After fixing the energy weighted sum ruledepletion for the isovector giant dipole resonance at 70%, energy weighted sumrules of 70+-14 % for the isoscalar giant quadrupole resonanceand 15+-3 % for the isoscalar giant hexadecapole resonance werededuced. All of these energy weighted sum rule depletions agree well withtheoretical predictions and results from other experiments.
