Core-polarization effects on C2 form factors of p-shell nuclei Original Research Article

Coulomb form factors of C2 transitions in several selected p-shell nuclei are discussed taking into account core-polarization effects. Higher-energy excitations up to 6ℏω are considered for core-polarization calculations. The effect of core polarization is found essential in both the transition strengths and momentum transfer dependence of form factors, and gives a remarkably good agreement with the measured data with no adjustable parameters.
