Observed relations between proton spin observables in natural parity transitions in /sup 40/Ca(p,p')/sup 40/Ca and /sup 208/Pb(p,p')/sup 208/Pb reactions at 500 MeV

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
A set of proton spin observables has been measured for the inelastic transitions to the 3/sup -/(3.73 MeV) and 5/sup -/(4.48 MeV) states in the /sup 40/Ca(p,p')/sup 40/Ca reaction and for the 3/sup -/(2.61 MeV) state in the /sup 208/Pb(p,p')/sup 208/Pb reaction at 497 MeV. The interval of laboratory scattering angles was 6 to 20/sup 0/ for /sup 40/Ca and 2.5 to 14/sup 0/ for /sup 208/Pb. Comparison of these observables reveals that they satisfy relations analogous to those valid in the elastic scattering of spin 1/2 and spin 0 objects. The connection between these observed relations and the characteristics of the reaction theory is discussed.
