Cross sections for the excitation of isovector cherge-exchange resonances in 208Tl

The Glauber approximation for the treatment of heavy-ion scattering has already been shown to give reliable predictions for the reaction cross section in the particular case of intermediate energy charge-exchange processes. In the present work, we couple a Glauber-type model to microscopic random phase approximation calculations of the charge-exchange excitations of 208Pb. The aim is to solve the long-standing question whether the very elusive charge-exchange isovector monopole has been really identified in the past experiments, or other multipoles were prevalent in the observed spectra.
