Abstract

Results from a nuclear structure form factor study are presented to investigate the extent of surface localization and volume sensitivity in K+-nucleus inelastic scattering. Using wave functions from a macroscopic collective model and the microscopic particle-hole model of Gillet and Vinh Mau, form factors (transition densities) and cross sections are independently calculated and then compared for low-lying excited states in C12. Unlike strongly absorbed projectiles (including the pion), which have dominant surface localized reaction mechanisms, the interior differences between model form factors are clearly reflected (measurably distinct) at all scattering angles.
