Inelastic proton scattering on Li isotopes

The angular distribution of the cross sections, analyzing powers and spin-flip probabilities leading to the 3+ and 0+ states in 6Li, and the 1/2- and 7/2- states in 7Li have been measured in inelastic scattering of 65 and 80 MeV polarized protons. The angular distributions have been surveyed theoretically within the framework of microscopic DWBA model using the Cohen and Kurath wave functions and the M3Y interaction. The calculations reproduced the gross shapes of the experimental data for the 0+ state, but not those for the 3+, 1/2- and 7/2- states, especially the analyzing power data. (author)
