Abstract

We develop a macroscopic description of heavy ion inelastic scattering in the context of a folding model. Form factors for the single nuclear excitation of either the projectile or target are derived, as well as the mutual excitation form factor. The formalism is applied to several typical examples.

NUCLEAR REACTIONS Heavy ion inelastic scattering; folding model for single and mutual excitation; applied to inelastic excitation of $2^{+}$ , $3^{-}$ , $5^{-}$ states in ${}^{208}{Pb}$ by ${}^{12}C$ at 96 MeV; ${}^{16}O$ + ${}^{12}C$ at 168 MeV, elastic, single, and mutual inelastic.
