Scattering from the $M3\mathrm{}$, $M5\mathrm{}$, and $M7\mathrm{}$ moments of the ground state of ${}_{}{}^{51}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{V}$ has been observed by a 180° scattering experiment of electrons. The observed $M3\mathrm{}$ and $M5\mathrm{}$ form factors are much smaller than those expected from the single-particle model. The features are reasonably reproduced by the calculation which takes into account the effect of the configuration mixing including the polarization of the ${}_{}{}^{48}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ca}$ core.

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ${}_{}{}^{51}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{V}\mathrm{}(e,e)\mathrm{}$ $E=80.84\mathrm{}-229$ MeV, $\theta =180\mathrm{}°$, measured $\sigma (E,180\mathrm{}°)$; deduced magnetic moment form factor.
