Electron Scattering From 10b, A Cichocki, J Dubach, R S. Hicks, Gerald Alvin Peterson

Gerald Alvin Peterson

Electron scattering measurements have been made in order to determine the longitudinal and transverse form factors of low-lying level in 10B. With the exception of the broad 5.18 MeV level, results were obtained for all known levels up to 6.7 MeV. The measurements span the momentum transfer range q=0.48–2.58 fm-1. The primary objective of this work was to improve the data on the pure isovector M3 form factor of the 1.740 MeV excitation, the transform of which yields the 1p3/2 single-nucleon wave function. A Woods-Saxon potential was found to provide a much better representation of the data than the harmonic …
