Abstract

Elastic and inelastic scattering of ${}^{8}{Li}$ ions have been observed on targets of C and Au at a beam energy of 14 MeV, using the University of Notre Dame–University of Michigan radioactive nuclear beam facility. The elastic scattering shows that, in most respects, ${}^{8}{Li}$ behaves similarly to ${}^{6, 7}{Li}$ . However, a large probability for populating the first excited state of ${}^{8}{Li}$ via inelastic scattering is observed. Data analysis using a deformed optical-model potential obtained from fits to the elastic scattering yields a reduced transition strength B(E2↑)=30±15 $e^{2}$ ${fm}^{4}$ .
