10. 23 MeV M1 transition in the /sup 48/Ca(p,p ') /sup 48/Ca/sup / reaction at 319 MeV

The cross section, analyzing power, and spin-flip probability have been measured for the M1 transition at 10.23 MeV excitation energy in the /sup 48/Ca(p,p') /sup 48/Ca /sup 48/Ca(p,p') /sup 48/Ca agreement with distorted-wave impulse approximation calculations; about 28% of the pure single particle (..nu..f/sub 7/2/ /sup -1/,f/sub 5/2/)M1 strength is observed. The results serve as a good calibration of results expected in heavy nuclei.
