Abstract

The transition charge and current densities for the lowest E5 proton particle-hole excitation in 89Y (0.909 MeV) and 90Zr (2.319 MeV) have been extracted from electron scattering data. These excitations are dominated by the π(1 g 9 2, 2 p-1 9 2) configuration. The transition densities indicate the importance of configuration mixing in the ground state of 90Zr. Single-particle predictions do not reproduce the shape of the empirical densities indicating the need for a surface peaked core polarization correction in both the charge and current densities.
