INELASTIC SCATTERING OF 14.0-MEV PROTONS BY EVEN ISOTOPES OF CADMIUM

Angular distributions of 14.0-MeV protons scattered elastically and inelastically by targets of Cd106,108,110,112,114,116 have been obtained. Coupled-channel analysis has been used to extract extended optical-model parameters that generate fits to the scattering data of the isotopic sequence. The analysis has yielded deformabilities that have been used to calculate equivalent electromagnetic-transition enhancement factors and ratios of B (E2) values, which have been compared with the results of Coulomb-excitation studies. © 1969 The American Physical Society.
