Abstract
Inelastic scattering to the lowest , , and states in was studied for + at MeV. The angular distributions are compared to distorted-wave and coupled-channel Born-approximation predictions. The results show that the effect of the inelastic excitation on the elastic scattering wave function has to be treated explicitly in order to reproduce the angular distributions. This is particularly evident for the transition, despite the fact that direct coupling between the and states is negligible.
