Study of /sup 206/Pb by inelastic scattering of 35 MeV protons

Thesis/Dissertation ·
OSTI ID:6896291
Using high resolution techniques the inelastic scattering of 35 MeV protons by /sup 206/Pb has been measured. A resolution of 6 to 9 keV allowed identification of approximately 180 levels of /sup 206/Pb with excitation energies up to 6.8 MeV. Angular distributions of most of these states are measured. L-transfers and deformation parameters are determined by comparison of the measured angular distributions to collective model calculations. Strongly excited collective states are compared to analogous states in /sup 207/Pb and /sup 208/Pb and the overall distribution of inelastic strength in /sup 206/Pb is compared to /sup 208/Pb. Microscopic calculations of natural parity states are presented and allow a test of theoretical RPA and TDA wave functions. Unnatural parity states with well determined wave functions are also studied microscopically and permit an examination of the central and noncentral forces in the effective interaction.
