Abstract
Nuclear structure wave functions for the ground and low-lying excited states of 20Ne, obtained from the angular momentum projected deformed particle-hole model using a “realistic” many-nucleon hamiltonian (kinetic energy plus a Brueckner G-matrix based on the Hamada-Johnston potential), are used as input to microscopic antisymmetrised DWBA analyses of inelastic proton scattering from 20Ne. This nuclear structure model, which has been previously shown able to describe the essential features of the giant multipole resonances of both 20Ne and 28Si, predicts angular distributions for inelastic proton scattering, exciting a number of states below 9 MeV in 20Ne, in qualitative agreement with the available data; a somewhat surprising result given the nuclear structure model's completely microscopic formulation. Anomalies observed in the assignment of some predicted levels to experimental states suggest some shortcomings in the form adopted for the hamiltonian.
