Proton and neutron transition densities in 6,7Li from low energy neutron and proton scattering.

New elastic and inelastic neutron scattering data for $^{6}$,7Li taken at 24.0 MeV have been analyzed in conjunction with existing proton scattering data for these targets at 24.4 MeV. The new data allow us to infer that ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{n}$\ensuremath{\approxeq}${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{p}$ in $^{6}\mathrm{Li}$ and $^{7}\mathrm{Li}$ in contrast with the results ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{n}$\ensuremath{\approxeq}(N/Z)${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{p}$ deduced from earlier proton and electron work.
