Abstract

Angular distributions for (p, n) reactions exciting isobaric analogue states at 30 and 50 MeV have been re-analysed using a microscopic description along the lines recently used by Greenlees, Pyle and Tang for elastic nucleon scattering. The fits obtained with an entirely real interaction are always as good as, and in some cases appreciably better than, those obtained in a conventional macroscopic analysis and do not require any assumptions concerning the form factor of the interaction. In previous analyses, the form factors giving the best fit were sometimes of volume shape and sometimes of surface shape and in general included imaginary terms in the potential.
