MICROSCOPIC CALCULATION OF LI-6 ELASTIC AND TRANSITION FORM-FACTORS

Variational Monte Carlo wave functions, obtained from a realistic Hami ltonian consisting of the Argonne vis two-nucleon and Urbana-IX three- nucleon interactions, are used to calculate the Li-6 ground-state long itudinal and transverse form factors as well as transition form factor s to the first four excited states. The charge and current operators i nclude one- and two-body components, leading terms of which are constr ucted consistently with the two-nucleon interaction. The calculated fo rm factors and radiative widths are in good agreement with available e xperimental data. [S0031-9007(98)07634-0].
