Abstract

Differential cross sections for elastic and inelastic scattering of 800 MeV protons from 58Ni have been measured to momentum transfers of 4 fm-1. The elastic scattering data were fit using a phenomenological optical model potential. The inelastic scattering was analyzed in the distorted wave Born approximation (DWBA) to obtain deformation lengths.

determined charge and current densities very well \[1 \]. Proton scattering, being sensitive to both protons and neutrons, is expected to supplement this knowledge, especially for neutron densities. In the last several years, the success of intermediate energy proton scattering in determining ground state neutron density distributions has been demonstrated \[2-7\].T he neutron distributions 6 Present address: TRIUMF, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada. 7 Present address: SAI, E1 Segundo, CA 90245, USA. 8 Present address: Formal Computers Inc., Los Angeles, CA 90024, USA. 9 Research supported in part by the US Department of Energy. lo Research supported in part by the National Science Foundation. 11 Research supported in part by the Robert A.
