✦ Synopsis

A convenient parametrization of longitudinal and transverse form factors of rotational nuclei is presented, This parametrization is model independent up to the order considered.

It is intended to extract information on the intrinsic structure of ground state rotational bands by expressing the form factors for elastic and inelastic scattering within the band in terms of intrinsic charge and current multipoles, weighted by angular momentum dependent coefficients. The importance of the experimental measurements of transverse form factors is stressed as providing unique information on the distribution of the rotational current and hence, a unique test of the different rotational models. A qualitative comparison of three different models-rigid rotor, cranking and projected Hartree-Fock approach-is also presented in this context.
