Tensor Force and Inelastic Electron and Proton Scattering to Unnatural-Parity States of Stretched Configurations

Abstract

A systematic comparison of the ($e$,${e}^{\ensuremath{'}}$) and ($p$,${p}^{\ensuremath{'}}$) transiton strengths for the excitation of unnatural-parity states of "stretched" configurations gives definite information on the high-momentum components of the tensor part of the nucleon-nucleon force. The available data emphasize the isovector part of the tensor force.
