Electroexcitation of discrete levels in /sup 12/C and /sup 13/C at high momentum transfers

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
Form factors for transverse electron scattering from /sup 12/C and /sup 13/C have been determined for momentum transfers as high as q = 4.6 fm/sup -1/. Data are presented for the elastic (M1), 3.088 MeV (E1), and 9.50 MeV (M4) transitions in /sup 13/C, and for the 15.11 MeV (M1), 16.11 MeV (E2), and 16.58 MeV (M2) transitions in /sup 12/C. It is found that calculations in the lowest-order shell-model space fail to account for the measured q dependences of E1, M1, and E2 form factors beyond q = 2 fm/sup -1/. On the other hand, form factor shapes observed for M2 and M4 multipoles are satisfactorily described to q = 4 fm/sup -1/ within the minimal 1h-dash-bar..omega.. configuration space.
