Abstract

In order to test the $^{16}\mathrm{C}$ internal wave function, we perform microscopic coupled-channels (MCC) calculations of the $^{16}\mathrm{C}({0}_{1}^{+}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{2}_{1}^{+})$ inelastic scattering by a $^{208}\mathrm{Pb}$ target at $E/A=52.7\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{MeV}$ using the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD) wave functions of $^{16}\mathrm{C}$, and compare the calculated differential cross sections with the measured ones. The MCC calculations with AMD wave functions reproduce the experimental data fairly well, although they slightly underestimate the magnitude of the cross sections. The absolute magnitude of calculated differential cross sections is found to be sensitive to the neutron excitation strength. We prove that the MCC method is a useful tool for connecting the inelastic scattering data with the internal wave functions.
