Abstract

A very simple Goldhaber-Teller type of collective model is formulated to describe the “spin-isospin” giant resonance in nuclear matter. The model is used to calculate 180° electron scattering form factors and the results are compared with experiment for 12C and 16O. These results account qualitatively for the observed behaviour of the giant resonance form factors as functions of q, although quantitative agreement with experiment is not completely obtained. Some consequences of these results are discussed.
