    Abstract

    The Pb-nat(He-3, tp) reaction at E(He-3) = 177 MeV was studied to identify 2hw isovector monopole strength in Bi isotopes. Monopole strength was found in the region -45 <Q <-30 MeV in the coincidence data. The cross section is compared with distorted-wave Born approximation calculations for non-spin-flip and spin-flip isovector monopole resonances. The observed spin-flip and non-spin-flip monopole strengths in the proton-decay channel amount to 20% of the respective non-energy-weighted sum rule.
