Electron scattering experiments have been performed on the deformed nuclei 5 Sm, Sm, Fr, 7 Yb Th, and U at momentum transfers between 0.5 fm and 1.3 fm l The cross sections for the 0, 2+, and 4+ rotational states of these nuclei have been obtained and, together with other information on the electromagnetic properties of these nuclei, these data lead to information about the deformed shapes. The shapes of '6~Er and '~Y b are quite different from the shapes of 5 Sm and 4Sm and require a varying skin thickness. The Sm isotopes require a constant skin thickness. Results are presented for po(r), p2(&), and p4(r).NUCLEAR REACTIONS~Sm(e, e') ls4Sm(e, e'), 6 Er(e, e') Yb(e, e') Th( e, e'), and~U(e, e'); measured cross sections for ground state and first excited states for 0.5 «q eff~1 .2 fm
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.
