Abstract: 

The transition current distribution for the low-lying 2⁺ state at 4.085 MeV in ²⁰⁸Pb obtained in a realistic cranked shell-model calculation is used to calculate the transverse PWBA form factor for inelastic electron scattering to this state. By keeping the same density but changing the velocity field to that of irrotational, incompressible flow the sensitivity of the form factor to the dynamics of nuclear vibrational motion is explored. It is found that the two flow patterns lead to significant, observable differences in the form factors.
