Ground-state charge distribution and transition charge densities of the low-lying states in 86Sr.

Differential cross sections for electron scattering from $^{86}\mathrm{Sr}$ have been measured for excited states below 3.5 MeV over a range of effective momentum transfer of 0.4 to 2.8 ${\mathrm{fm}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$. The elastic scattering data have been analyzed to reconstruct the ground-state charge distribution. The inelastic scattering data have been analyzed to extract transition charge densities. Interpretation of the underlying nuclear structure is given in the framework of a self-consistent finite Fermi system theory.
