Elastic and inelastic C2 form factors of nickel isotopes and two-body correlations

Abstract

The inelastic form factors for C2 transition have been studied for even nickel isotopes ([Formula: see text]Ni) using the form of Tassie shape for ground state charge density distribution. The charge density distribution is investigated using the one- and two-body terms in the cluster expansion. The effect of short-range correlations is included using Jastrow-type correlation function into the two-body density term of the cluster expansion. This concludes that the inserting of the influence of short-range correlations is required for reaching an important adjustment in the calculated elastic and inelastic form factors which explain the data very well at the high momentum transfers ([Formula: see text][Formula: see text]fm[Formula: see text].
