Abstract

A technique has been developed which allows one to measure ratios of elastic scattering cross sections for nearby nuclei and which should be free of most systematic uncertainties. Protons scattered from a mixed target are momentum-analyzed in a high resolution spectrograph and the scatterer is identified by the kinematic shift. The result of an application to scattering from the calcium isotopes 40,44,48Ca is discussed.

This lecture describes research performed by S.M. Austin, E. Kashy, C.H. King, R.G. Markham, I. Redmount and R.M. Ronningen. Research was supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation Grant 78-01684.
