Inelastic electron scattering from Ca has been performed over a momentum transfer range from 0.6 to 3.0 fm ' in both forward and backward directions. Form factors have been obtained for 25 levels up to 10 MeV excitation. Charge and current densities for 11 low lying electric transitions and current densities for two magnetic transitions have been reconstructed in Fourier Bessel analysis. Three high spin states observed in the region of 9 MeV excitation are found to have the dominant configuration v(lg9&z, lf7/p) but with a total strength of only 36% predicted for the first 8 in a random-phase-approximation calculation. This is interpreted as evidence for particlephonon coupling. Comparisons of the extracted densities are made with random-phaseapproximation calculations using a zero-range, density-dependent Migdal interaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
