Abstract
Proton and neutron transition densities in are examined by a combination of intermediate energy (e,e’) and (p,p’) reactions and mirror electromagnetic transition rates. This analysis is performed for the and states at 2.234 and 3.499 MeV in . Electron scattering data are presented for these states. Shell-model calculations for the proton and neutron transition matrix elements and proton transition densities are compared with the electromagnetic results. The proton transition densities are reasonably predicted for the state but are not adequately predicted for the state. A microscopic coupled-channel calculation of 650 MeV (p,p’) is used to test the shell-model isoscalar transition densities. Given the uncertainties present in the reaction calculation and interaction, the isoscalar density for the state is found to be adequate, but the density for the state is less accurate. The coupled-channel effect is shown to be important for the state. This dependence increases with energy but should be taken into account for an accurate description of (p,p’) reactions at all energies.
