DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe potential of heavy-ion inelastic scattering as a method for studying giant resonance spectroscopy is investigated and compared to results obtained with the (.cap alpha., .cap alpha.') reaction. Optical model calculations reveal a strong dependence of the excitation cross sections upon bombarding energy. Differences between the backgrounds encountered in light and heavy hadron scattering experiments are discussed. 35 references.
