Abstract
We include the spin-orbit force in the analysis of inelastic proton-nucleus scattering. In the limit of zero-range nuclear forces, very simple results are obtained. To lowest order in the elementary spin-orbit amplitude, the spin-dependent nuclear amplitudes are proportional to the momentum transfer times the spin-independent nuclear amplitudes. Consequently, in the spin-independent cross section the region of the diffractive minima is not significantly affected by the elementary spinorbit amplitudes, whereas the subsidiary maxima are somewhat enhanced.
