Shell model structures of low-lying excited states in [Formula Presented]Li

Abstract

Electron and intermediate energy proton scattering data from [Formula Presented]Li and [Formula Presented]Li, both elastic and inelastic, have been analyzed using wave functions obtained from shell model calculations involving spaces ranging from the conventional [Formula Presented] space to the [Formula Presented] one. The results, along with those of the static and dynamic properties of the low-lying spectra of the nuclei, allow for a strict assessment of the wave functions, as well as giving an indication of possible clusterlike behavior in those systems. © 1997 The American Physical Society.
