Abstract
The vector analyzing power was measured for L→i elastic and inelastic scattering (, 2.19 MeV) at 100, 134, 164, and 219 MeV, in an angular range between 40° and 125° using a vector polarized target. Sizable spin effects were observed over most of the angular range. The data were compared with a number of theoretical predictions based on different scattering models and nuclear structure input. None of the calculations is able to reproduce the data set; however, it appears that the vector analyzing power is mostly sensitive to the nuclear wave function chosen. The angular distribution of in Li elastic and inelastic scattering is discussed in terms of nuclear form factors and elementary πN amplitudes.
