Comparison of the quasifree charge-exchange reaction for C12 and Fe54

The (p over arrow pointing right, n) reaction has been measured for C-12 and Fe-54 targets at 290 MeV for a laboratory angle of 20.4-degrees and at 420 MeV for a laboratory angle of 24.0-degrees. This paper presents new cross section data and analyzing powers at excitation energies near the quasifree peak. The data are compared with recently developed nonrelativistic calculations and with extended relativistic calculations that include random phase approximation correlations.
