In the present work, the Skyrme interaction with the core polarization calculations has been used and implemented to study the inelastic electroexcitation form factor for low-lying excited states in \({}^{7}\hbox {Li}\). In particular, the \(1/2^{-}\) (0.478 MeV) and \(7/2^{-}\) (4.630 MeV) states have been analyzed within the \(0\hbar \omega \) shell model including core-polarization effect. The present results reveal that the core-polarization calculation incorporating Skyrme type interaction for the single-particle states reproduces the longitudinal electron scattering data and predicts the diffraction minimum correctly and describes the high momentum data that has not been reported before. The measured \(B(C2{\uparrow })\) value for the \(1/2^{-}\) transition is very well described. The result of the \(7/2^{-}\) transition is close to the measured value. Transverse form factors are better described by the single-particle wave functions obtained from Hartree–Fock with Skyrme type interaction, rather than by the harmonic-oscillator wave functions.
