Elastic and inelastic scattering of 86Kr on 208Pb at Elab = 43 MeV/nucleon

Elastic and inelastic angular distributions of 43 MeV/nucleon 86Kr on 208Pb have been measured. Coulomb excitation of the low-lying collective states has a much smaller effect on the elastic angular distribution than observed at low bombarding energy. The inelastic angular distributions to the first 2+ states in 86Kr and 208Pb are well reproduced by coupled-channel calculations using adopted B(E2) values. Above E*=7 MeV the inelastic spectra are dominated by Coulomb excitation of the isovector giant dipole and isoscalar giant quadrupole resonances. (orig.)
