Analysis of elastic and inelastic scattering of 162 MeV pions fromC13by an optical potential and a collective model

Abstract
Data for elastic scattering of π+ and π from C13 at Tπ=162 MeV between θlab=22° and 105° were analyzed by an optical model. Good fits were obtained with neutron and proton ground state densities of three-parameter Fermi shape having the same rms radius. Inelastic data for the quadrupole transitions to the 32 (3.68 MeV) and 52 (7.55 MeV) states and the octupole transition to a proposed 52+, 72+ doublet (11.82 MeV) were analyzed using a collective model. The extracted strengths for the neutron and proton parts of the transitions are compared to the results of electron scattering and γ-ray studies.
