Abstract

The region of the giant resonances in 208Pb has been investigated by inelastic scattering of 201 MeV protons. To test the analysis, angular distributions were measured for the low-lying 3, 5, 2+ and 4+ collective states. The giant isoscalar quadrupole resonance (ISGQR) is split into two structures, one at 9.0 MeV with a full width at half-maximum Γ = 1.0 MeV, the other one at 10.6 MeV (Γ = 2.0 MeV), with fine structures at 8.9, 9.3, 10.1, 10.6 and 11 MeV. A macroscopic analysis using the distorted-wave Born approximation (DWBA) leads for the low-lying collective levels, as well as for the ISGQR, to transition probabilities too small by a factor of two, compared with those obtained in other reactions. Microscopic analysis using the distorted-wave impulse approximation (DWIA), with three different sets of random phase approximation (RPA) transition densities, is in very good agreement with the data. At forward angles, in the 12 to 16 MeV excitation energy region, a strong resonance at 13.5 MeV (Γ = 3.6 MeV) is accounted for by the Coulomb excitation of the isovector giant dipole resonance (IVGDR); at larger angles the results are compatible with the excitation of the isoscalar monopole resonance (ISGMR) located at 13.9 MeV (Γ = 2.6 MeV).

A resonance located at 21.5 MeV (Γ = 5.7 MeV) appears as the superposition of an isovector quadrupole resonance (IVGQR) excited by Coulomb interaction and a resonance of multipolarity L = 1 ΔT = 0 (ISGDR “squeezing mode”).
