Abstract

The neutron and proton excitations in ¹⁶C nucleus have been investigated by use of the Coulomb-nuclear interference method applied to the ²⁰⁸Pb+¹⁶C inelastic scattering. Angular distribution of the ¹⁶C nuclei in the inelastic channel populating the first 2 ⁺ state has been measured. The neutron and proton transition matrix elements, M_n and M_p, have been determined from the "Coulomb" and "matter" deformation-length parameters obtained by distorted wave calculations. The M_p or its corresponding B(E2;2⁺₁→0⁺) value was found to be extremely small: 0.28±0.06 Weisskopf units consistent with a recent lifetime measurement. Furthermore, the extracted M_n/M_p ratio has an unexpectedly large value of 7.6±1.7. These results suggest that the 2⁺₁ state in ¹⁶C is a nearly pure valence neutron excitation. copy; 2004 Published by Elsevier B.V.
