✦ Synopsis

The elastic and inelastic scattering of heavy ions from nuclei are considered in terms of a generalized optical model. Amplitudes for the single excitation of target or projectile are evaluated in distorted waves approximation, while amplitudes for more complicated excitations, such as double excitation or mutual excitation of both nuclei, are computed using the derivative relations of Austern and Blair. For the special case of double excitation the results of the Austern and Blair theory are compared with the predictions of a coupled Schr6dinger equations calculation. Spectroscopic information derived from these analyses is in good agreement with previous analyses.
