Abstract

Differential cross sections and analyzing powers have been measured for elastic and inelastic scattering of 800-MeV protons by ${}^{16}O$ . Microscopic analyses utilizing the impulse approximation are used to study the ground-state neutron distribution of ${}^{16}O$ , and to demonstrate the importance of the spin-orbit amplitudes for the inelastic transitions.
