Abstract
We have measured the inelastic scattering of 35-MeV protons from and from . Angular distributions were extracted for members of the ground-state rotational bands, and were analyzed with use of coupled-channels calculations for scattering from a deformed optical potential. The deformation parameter is positive for and , nearly zero for , and negative for . The trends of the deformation parameters and multipole moments are explained qualitatively by a simple model.
