A complete set of polarization transfer observables has been measured for the
12C(p,n) reaction at Tpβ=296MeV and ΞΈlabβ=0β. The total spin transfer Ξ£(0β) and the observable
f1β deduced from the measured polarization transfer observables indicate that
the spin--dipole resonance at Exββ7MeV has greater 2β
strength than 1β strength, which is consistent with recent experimental and
theoretical studies. The results also indicate a predominance of the spin-flip
and unnatural-parity transition strength in the continuum. The exchange tensor
interaction at a large momentum transfer of Qβ3.6fmβ1 is
discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
