GDR Contribution to Coulomb Excitation. I. 1p Shell Nuclei

Abstract

The contributions to the Coulomb excitation of the first excited states of 6Li, 7Li, lOB and 12C due to virtual excitation of the giant dipole resonance (GDR) are calculated, using shell model wavefunctions for the ground and first excited states. When the radial integrals are renormalized in order to fit the experimental B(E2) values for the transitions between these states, the calculated GDR contributions agree reasonably with the measured values in 6Li, 7Li and lOB.
