Electron and pion interactions with nuclei

The analysis of high momentum transfer data on Hc-3, He-4, and A1 from the SLAC experiments is discussed. The data collection on Ca-48 isotope is completed. A high spin M8 transition was identified along with some 50 other levels. Analyses of this data is proceeding using microscopic DWBA descriptions of the nucleus The quasi-free scattering form Ca-40 and Ca-48 is completed. The preliminary results confirm earliest measurements on Fe-56; the Coulomb sum rule is substantially reduced from independent particle models. The study of Sr-88 and Y-89 continues with emphasis on the extraction of the single particle distribution of the proton and its effect upon nuclear core polarization. Inelastic electron scattering from H-1, H-2, H-3, He-3 and He-4 began at the present Bates linac and measurements at higher energies (750 GeV) are approved for the recirculated beam.
