Direct Reaction Inelastic Scattering to the 2? State of 16O Via a Nonlocal Interaction

Abstract

A study is made of the effects of a purely nonlocal representation of the reaction mechanism in inelastic scattering. In particular, the inelastic scattering of 30 MeV protons and 65 MeV IX-particles leading to the 2- state of 8·88 MeV excitation in 160 are considered. The reaction mechanisms are represented by separable interactions between the projectile and target nucleon, and a simple spectroscopy for 160 is used in the plane wave Born approximation. The derived cross sections are compared with other calculations and the measured data. The asymmetry in proton inelastic scattering is also discussed.
