Abstract
Angular distributions of elastically and inelastically scattered protons from 100Mo and 98Mo were measured at Ep=14.7 MeV. Results were analysed in terms of the optical model and the distorted wave Born approximation theory. In addition, the differential cross sections for the first 2+ and 3− states and those for the possible members of two-quadrupole-phonon triplet were compared with coupled channel calculations. Reasonable agreements between the experiment and the theory were obtained except for the second 0+ state of 100Mo. Admixture of one-phonon component was required for the second 2+ state.
