Abstract

The multipolarity ( $L$ ) dependence of the inelastic form factor for heavy-ion-induced excitations predicted by the folding model is confirmed in the analysis of the scattering of ${}^{14}N$ from ${}^{12}C$ and ${}^{16}O$ at 155 MeV. Agreement between the target deformation lengths ( $β_{L} R_{t}$ ) of these measurements and those from electromagnetic and proton experiments is found when the strongly $L$ -dependent folding-model form factor is employed.
