Inelastic excitation of giant resonances by 400-MeV /sup 16/O

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
Results are presented for 350- and 400-MeV /sup 16/O inelastic scattering from /sup 208/Pb and /sup 90/Zr. The results show excitation of the giant quadrupole, monopole, and dipole resonances. The cross section and peak to continuum ratio are very large for the giant quadrupole resonance. Measured angular distributions agree with distorted-wave Born approximation calculations which use standard collective model form factors. Structure observed in the /sup 16/O spectra corresponding to high excitation energies in /sup 208/Pb is shown to arise from projectile pickup reactions.
