Der Einfluß der Nullpunktschwingungen der Kernoberfläche auf die Formfaktoren der inelastischen Elektronenstreuung
The transition densities from the ground state to exited states of atomic nuclei are calculated from the drop model, taking the zero-point oscillations of the nuclear surface into account. The calculation yields transition densities smeared out over a distance of 2–3 fm near the nuclear surface. In the case ofn-surfon transitions the radial dependence of these densities is proportional to then-th derivative of the ground-state density.The numerical evaluation yields inelastic form factors quite similar to those ofCrannell et al. Compared with the form factors ofWalecka, the higher maxima are less distinct.
