Inelastic Scattering of Protons from ¹⁰⁰Mo and ⁹⁸Mo

Abstract

Angular distributions of elastically and inelastically scattered protons from 100 Mo and 98 Mo were measured at E p =14.7 MeV. Results were analysed in terms of the optical model and the distorted wave Born approximation theory. In addition, the differential cross sections for the first 2 + and 3 - states and those for the possible members of two-quadrupole-phonon triplet were compared with coupled channel calculations. Reasonable agreements between the experiment and the theory were obtained except for the second 0 + state of 100 Mo. Admixture of one-phonon component was required for the second 2 + state.
