Proton scattering measurements of the calcium isotopes have been performed at both LAMPF and IUCF; preliminary measurements of selected s-d shell nuclei have also been made at LAMPF. Analysis of the collected data is underway. Measurements of electron scattering from /sup 42/Ca and /sup 44/Ca made at NIKHEF-K are also being analyzed, in conjunction with data obtained previously at the MIT-Bates Linear Accelerator. Initial electron scattering measurements of 4/sup /minus// and 6/sup /minus// excitations in /sup 18/O have been performed at MIT-Bates and the analysis is underway. The analysis of measurements of the mercury isotopes made at NIKHEF-K have been completed and the results are being prepared for publication. Further results of our studies of the (e,e'd) reaction at NIKHEF have been analyzed and published. A gas jet target is currently under construction for use in the SAL storage ring to study the feasibility of performing internal target experiments in electron rings. We have received time to complete our electron scattering measurements of the calcium isotopes at NIKHEF-K. We will also study the threshold electro-production of neutral pions from the proton via the p(e, e'p)..pi../sup 0/ reaction at NIKHEF-K. Finally, we will perform electron scattering measurements of /sup 14/C at NIKHEF-K and THD. Of particular note in this experiment will be the extraction of the B(E1) value for the first excited state as it will help to determine which of a broad class of stars can collapse to form black holes. 29 refs., 4 figs.
