Inelastic scattering of electrons and E2 transition in⁶Li

A simple nucleon-nucleon correlation function has been included in the independent-particle shell-model (IPSM) wave functions of⁶Li. The reduced transition probability and the nuclear form factor of⁶Li as obtained from the inelastic scattering of electrons have been calculated using the correlated as well as the uncorrelated wave functions of the ground and the first excited states. The correlated transition probability and the form factor are considerably improved over the uncorrelated ones. The correlated form factor is more consistent with the experimental data than the uncorrelated one.
