| Abstract: | Protons excite giant resonances, indeed the systematic establishment of the existence of the first non-dipole giant resonance, the giant quadrupole resonance (GQR) came from the use of inelastic proton scatering. The question addressed, however, is how does the proton stack up for such studies when compared to the use of other hadronic probes. What can we uniquely learn about giant multipole resonances using proton scattering. Specifically, results from (p, p'), and (..cap alpha.., ..cap alpha..') and (¹⁶o, ¹⁶O') reactions are compared as regards excitation of giant multipole resonances, and some of the advantages and disadvantages to the use of each probe are detailed. It is hoped to leave the impression that it is in the determination of resonance multipolarity by comparison of measured and calculated angular distributions that the proton is a winner. It is shown what we are learning about high-L (L > 3) giant resonances using the (p, p') angular distribution. This discussion will generally be limited to isoscalar electric (i.e., T = 0, S = 0) giant resonances. |
