A study of proton-12C inelastic scattering at 1 GeV☆

Abstract The inelastic scattering of protons on 12C is investigated on the basis of the first order term of the multiple scattering expansion of Kerman, McManus, and Thaler. The spin degrees of freedom are taken into account. The inelastic transitions to the three lowest excited states of the target are studied within the distorted wave impulse approximation, the distortion being evaluated using an eikonal approximation. The elementary nuleon-nucleon high-energy interaction employed contains a simplified but realistic spin dependence. Special emphasis is placed on the influence of the small-angle approximation, the effect of spin, and the sensitivity to different nuclear transition densities.
