Abstract

Differential cross section and analyzing power angular distributions have been measured for transitions to low-lying bound states with Jπ = 2+, 3−, 4+ and 5−, and the giant resonance region from 6 to 27 MeV excitation energy. Collective model calculations using a full Thomas form factor reproduce the data fairly well. The so-called LEOR turns out not to be seen as pure E3 in (p, p′). In the giant resonance region the data do not reveal the presence of a sizeable monopole strength, 10–20% of the energy-weighted sum rule at most. There is strong indication for a mixture of E2 (18% of the EWSR) and E4 (16% of the EWSR). Calculations were also carried out using RPA (1p1h) wave functions. They reproduce the experimental data rather poorly, except for the general behaviour of the cross-section angular distributions.
