Inelastic electron scattering from29Si

Abstract

The excited states of 29Si up to 8.3 MeV excitation energy have been studied by inelastic electron scattering in the momentum transfer range 0.4 to 1.05 fm-1. Ground-state transition probabilities and transition radii were obtained for the levels excited. At lower excitation energies the transition probabilities agree with previous work. A number of high excitation and high-multipolarity levels are studied for the first time, and several previously tentative spin-parity assignments are confirmed. Transition probabilities for L=2, 3 and 4 are compared with the predictions of the intermediate coupling model and the Nilsson and shell models.
