Inclusive {sup 4}He({ital {rvec p}},{ital p}{prime}) spectra were measured at incident energies {ital T}{sub {ital p}}=500 and 800 MeV over a range of forward scattering angles between 5{degree} and 30{degree}. The first excited 0{sup +}, {ital T}=0 state at 20.1 MeV and the 2{sup {minus}}, {ital T}=0 state at 22.1 MeV appear as distinct structures in the spectra. Angular distributions of differential cross sections {sigma} and analyzing powers {ital A}{sub {ital y}} were extracted for these states and for regions of excitation in the continuum up to 40 MeV. Distorted-wave calculations for inelastic scattering using transition densities from the recoil corrected continuum shell model (RCCSM) were compared with the data. The RCCSM generally predicts too small {sigma} and too large {ital A}{sub {ital y}}. Assuming a pure giant monopole excitation for the 20.1-MeV, 0{sup +} state, we found greater giant monopole resonance strength than has been deduced from {sup 4}He({ital e},{ital e}{prime}) studies.
