Magnetic Monopole Transitions in Electron Scattering

Abstract

The electroexcitation cross section for the second-order magnetic monopole transition $0^{+} \to 0^{-}$ has been calculated in ${}^{16}O$ . It is assumed that the spectrum of intermediate excited states is complete and that energy loss may be neglected. If these approximations are valid, it should be possible to observe this transition.
