The recent data on both elastic and inelastic scattering of 1 GeV protons by 40Ca and 208Pb are analyzed by means of the first term of the multiple scattering series for the optical potential and the DWIA. Theory and experiment agree quite well. Coulomb effects are taken into account. Neutron and proton ground state densities given by Hartree-Fock calculations employing a density-dependent Hamiltonian and which provide a good fit to elastic electron scattering are used. The Tassie form factors, normalized by comparison with inelastic electron scattering, are employed in the DWIA.
