Comparing spin observables in the reaction $^{12} C(\vec p,\vec p')^{12} C$ at 100–500 MeV with various distorted-wave impulse approximations

Abstract

Abstrtact-Spin observables in the process ( ) are analyzed at intermediate energies in the range 100-500 MeV. Experimental and theoretical data are compared for the reaction 12 C( ) 12 C involving excitation of states 1 + , T = 0 (12.71 MeV) and 1 + , T = 1 (15.11 MeV). Two varieties of DWIA type calculations are mainly used, allowing the role of isospin effects to be distinguished.
