Electroexcitation of giant multipole resonances inCa40

Abstract
A study of inelastic electron scattering from Ca40 in the momentum transfer range q=0.431.40 fm1 has revealed strong excitations with quadrupole and octupole character which spread over the range of excitation energy Ex=1025 MeV. For comparison, a simple shell model calculation is made based on the quasielastic model.
