Title: MAGNETIC DIPOLE AND QUADRUPOLE TRANSITIONS IN SELF-CONJUGATE S-D SHELL NUCLEI

Abstract: "Electron scattering has been used to study the structure of the nuclei of ('32)S and ('40)Ca. The data for ('32)S were taken at ten incident electron energies and at scattering angles of 180(DEGREES) and 162.4(DEGREES), yielding a range for the momentum transfer of 0.34 to 0.75 fm('-1). The data for ('40)Ca were taken at six incident electron energies and scattering angles of 162.4(DEGREES) and 127.8(DEGREES), yielding a range of momentum transfer from 0.31 to 0.60 fm('-1).

Form factors for seven inelastic levels in ('32)S and two inelastic levels in ('40)Ca were extracted and compared to a harmonic oscillator shell model calculation to determine the multipolarities and radiative widths of the levels. The distribution of magnetic dipole and quadrupole strength in ('32)S is considerably fragmented compared to the lighter self-conjugate s-d shell nuclei. The presence of a magnetic dipole transition at 10.31 MeV in ('40)Ca is a clear indication of configuration mixing in the ('40)Ca ground state."
