Isoscalar dipole resonance: Form factor and energy weighted sum rule

Abstract
A collective formalism first proposed by Deal to describe isoscalar dipole excitations in electron scattering is extended to include excitations of these modes by hadron scattering. Distorted-wave Born approximation calculations are performed using this collective isoscalar L=1 form factor to describe the excitation of the 1, T=0 state at Ex=7.12 MeV (1ω character) in O16 and a newly proposed candidate for the isoscalar giant dipole resonance (3ω character) at Ex=21.3 MeV in Pb208 excited in inelastic α scattering. A good description of the cross sections of the 1, 7.12 MeV state in O16 and the Ex=21.3 MeV bump in Pb208 is obtained in this model exhausting 4.2% and 130% of the energy-weighted sum rule, respectively.
