Direct Interaction with Strong Coupling in Nuclear Collisions II. E2 Excitations

The work of a previous paper on the effect of coupling between elastically and inelastically scattered waves for the case of E0 excitations of the nucleus throughout its volume has been extended to E2 excitations. The inclusion of coupling causes inelastic cross sections to deviate even more from the distorted wave values for E2 excitations than for E0 excitations. The effect is greater for a volume interaction than for a surface interaction of equivalent strength.
