A symplectic model calculation of transverse electron scattering form factors for 24Mg

Abstract

The electron scattering transverse form factors for the transitions 0 + → 2 1 + and 0 + → 2 2 + for 24Mg are calculated in the symplectic model. Results show that the predictions of the sp(3, R ) model are improved over calculations restricted to the valence shell. Unlike longitudinal form factor calculations the effects of higher shells are not accounted for by simply introducing an effective charge factor.
