Abstract
Results from a nuclear structure form factor study are presented to investigate the extent of surface localization and volume sensitivity in -nucleus inelastic scattering. Using wave functions from a macroscopic collective model and the microscopic particle-hole model of Gillet and Vinh Mau, form factors (transition densities) and cross sections are independently calculated and then compared for low-lying excited states in . Unlike strongly absorbed projectiles (including the pion), which have dominant surface localized reaction mechanisms, the interior differences between model form factors are clearly reflected (measurably distinct) at all scattering angles.
