Nuclear excitation of giant dipole and quadropole resonances
Abstract
Cross sections for nuclear excitation of giant dipole and quadrupole resonances are calculated in DWBA, using a macroscopic form factor. Agreement with existing data is obtained. The depence of the matrix elements on mass number is exposed, leading to a prediction of comparatively small cross sections for heavier nuclei.
