Description

The matrix element for inelastic scattering of protons leading to the excitation of collective states in even-even nuclei is calculated in the framework of Dirac phenomenology using a DWBA approach. The deformed parts of the Lorentz scalar and four-vector optical potentials serve as the transition operators. The results are compared with the recently measured polarization transfer coefficients on 40Ca and 208Pb at 500 MeV. The agreement with experiment is good. (orig.)
