L=3 AND 4 TRANSITIONS IN INELASTIC SCATTERING OF PROTONS FROM 66ZN

Elastic and inelastic scatterings of protons from 66Zn have been studied at 55.01 MeV incident energy. Scattered protons have been analysed and detected by a broad-range magnetic spectrometer with a 200 proportional counter system. No strongly excited states have been observed in the excitation energy Ex > 6 MeV. Angular distributions are analysed in terms of the DWBA method. In addition to the well-known first 2+ and 3- states, six l = 3 transitions with reduced transition rates of 2 ∼ 1 in a single particle unit are observed for excitation energies in the 4.1-5.7 MeV region. Two l = 4 transitions are also observed for excitation energies of 3.08 and 4.70 MeV. © 1969.
