Abstract
Double differential cross sections from the /sup 120/Sn(n,p)/sup 120/In and /sup 181/Ta(n,p)/sup 181/Hf reactions at 298 MeV and the /sup 238/U(n,p)/sup 238/Pa reaction at 318 MeV have been measured for excitation energies up to 50 MeV in the residual nucleus. These data, together with the previously published data from the /sup 90/Zr(n,p)/sup 90/Y and /sup 208/Pb(n,p)/sup 208/Tl reactions at 1 8 MeV, have been analyzed for spin-isovector resonances of multipolarities less than 7, using the multipole decomposition method. The strengths due to spin-isovector excitations of multipolarity les than 4 have been extracted. The anomalous behavior of the extracted spin-isovector quadrupole strength with target mass number is discussed with reference to the calculations of Leonardi et al. The cross section due to quasifree processes was calculated and subtracted from the data. The data after this subtraction were reanalyzed for spin-isovector resonances and the strengths due to multipola ities up to 3 were extracted. The strengths due to spin-isovector dipole and octupole excitations were compared to values calculated, for 1h(cross) omega transitions only, using the sum rules of Mac arlane. The behavior with target mass number is well represented by these sum rules. (38 References).
