Electromagnetic form factors of odd-Aaxially symmetric deformed nuclei

Abstract
Expressions for electron scattering form factors for odd-A deformed nuclei are derived by projecting states with definite angular momentum from an axially symmetric intrinsic wave function. Through an expansion of the multipole matrix elements in terms of 1Jy2 both single-particle and collective contributions are taken into account in a systematic way. Selection rules are discussed and some schematic calculations of magnetic form factors are presented for Mg25 and Ta181.
