Abstract

An irreducible tensor formalism to analyze inelastic scattering of nucleons on nuclei with arbitrary spins is outlined and the nature of noncentral interactions involved therein is studied. In the particular case of inelastic scattering of nucleons on $^{12} C$ leading to the ${(1}^{+})$ excited state at 15.11 MeV, the relative importance of vector and tensor amplitudes is examined using the DW81 and DREX codes.
