Investigation of the giant resonance region of carbon with (electron,electron'photon)

We report here on progress toward utilization of the (e, e\sp\primeγ) reaction for the study of giant resonances. The reaction mechanism of this purely leptonic probe is known since it is governed by quantum electrodynamics. Because the long wavelength approximation is applicable, for the emitted photon, the (e, e\sp\primeγ) reaction is highly selective of the multipolarity of the giant resonance response. However, the small photon-emission probability of the giant resonances, their broad nature, and competition from bremsstrahlung photons, have suggested that use of the (e, e\sp\primeγ) reaction in the study of the giant resonances would be very difficult.
