Scattering of 25.6 MeV protons on 94Mo, 96Mo and 100Mo

Abstract

Elastic and inelastic scattering cross sections of 25.6 MeV protons on the isotopes 94,96,100Mo were measured. Level energies and J π values were deduced using DWBA and coupled channels analysis. CC calculations on vibrational quadrupole one-phonon and two-phonon states prove to fit the experimental cross sections well in the anharmonic approach to first and second order. Quadrupole-octupole two-phonon states could be identified by harmonic vibrational model CC calculations. A semi-microscopic model was applied to some of the collective states, resulting in a satisfactory description of the cross sections.
