Angular distributions are reported for 0.8 GeV proton elastic and inelastic scattering from ${}_{}{}^{14}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{N}$. The data are analyzed with the optical model using a spherical Woods-Saxon potential and the distorted wave Born approximation with collective form factors.

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ${}_{}{}^{14}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{N}$($p$,$p^{\prime }$), $E=0.8\mathrm{}$ GeV; measured $\sigma \left(\theta \right)$; natural targets; resolution 100 to 200 keV, ${\theta }_{\mathrm{c}.\mathrm{m}.\mathrm{}}=5.6\mathrm{} \mathrm{to} 32.0°$. Optical model potential, DWBA analysis, inelastic deformation lengths, ${\beta }_{l}R$.
