DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhereas the nuclear charge distribution, essentially determined by the protons, has been studied for decades in elastic electron scattering, a study of the neutron distribution in nuclei has only recently become possible through pion charge-exchange experiments. The excitation of the isobaric analog state (IAS) in pion single-charge-exchange reactions is one of the most prominent candidates for such an investigation which will be especially interesting for strongly deformed nuclei which can be aligned in magnetic fields. This contribution concentrates on calculations related to such a reaction for the rare-earth nucleus Ho-165. 8 refs., 3 figs.
