Excitation of Giant Multipole Resonances through Inelastic Scattering

The review of giant multipole resonance excitation through inelastic scattering of medium-energy electrons and nuclear projectiles, provides a summary of the experimental evidence for the new giant resonances in which topics with apparent discrepancies, systematic trends of the new resonances, and a brief discussion of some recent microscopic calculations of excitation of giant resonances by inelastic scattering.
