Proton core polarization in low-lying states ofSr86

Abstract
Electron-scattering cross sections, measured between 0.4 and 3.1 fm1, have been unfolded to obtain charge transition densities for the low-lying 2+, 4+, 6+, and 8+ states in Sr86. A comparison is made to analogous levels in Mo92. Angular momentum recoupling in the 1g9/2 shell of two protons in Mo92 and two neutron holes in Sr86 are the dominant configurations for these levels. Proton core polarization in Sr86 neutron valence transitions diminishes with increasing multipolarity, indicating the residual interaction weakens with increasing momentum transfer.
