Electron scattering cross section measurements on S have been made at incident electron energies between 34 and 74 MeV and at scattering angles of 162. 4' and 180 . Form factors were deduced for transitions to states at 8.11, 9.68, 10.05, 10.78, 11.12, and 11. 63 MeV. Additional peaks at 7.12, 12.02, and 13.36 MeV were observed in some spectra. Comparisons of cross sections at different angles show that the above six transitions are transverse. Comparison of the experimental form factors with those calculated using an oscillator shell model indicate that the 8.11, 9.68, 11.12, and 11. 63 MeV transitions are M1. Transition probabilities 8 (M 1)f = 1.14+0.18, 0.69+0.20, 2.40+0.22, and 1.26+0.20 po, respectively, were determined for these four transitions. The M1 form factors and transition probabilities are also compared with other theoretical shell model calculations. The transition at 10.78 MeV is probably M2, or a mixture of M2 and transverse E2 transitions to unresolved states at about that energy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
