Elastic and inelastic scattering of 362 MeV polarized protons fromCa40

Abstract

Scattering of 362 MeV polarized protons from ${}_{}{}^{40}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ca}$ to the ground, $3^{\mathrm{-}}$ (3.74 MeV), $2^{+}$ (3.90 MeV), and $5^{\mathrm{-}}$ (4.49 MeV) states has been studied from 3° to 65° in the laboratory. Measured values of dσ/dΩ and $A_y$ are compared with standard relativistic and nonrelativistic calculations using transition densities from random-phase-approximation calculations and electron scattering data.
