First elastic electron scattering from 132Xe at the SCRIT facility
Abstract
The first elastic electron scattering has been successfully performed at the self-confining RI ion target (SCRIT) facility, the world's first electron scattering facility for exotic nuclei. The SCRIT technique achieved high luminosity (over 1027~cm-2s-1, sufficient for determining the nuclear shape) with only 108 target ions. While 132Xe used in this time as a target is stable isotope, the charge density distribution was firstly extracted from the momentum transfer distributions of the scattered electrons by comparing the results with those calculated by a phase shift calculation.
