If the antiproton optical potential includes the spin orbit interaction term, the A(p̅ ,p)A* inelastic scattering not only can excite the normal parity states, but also can excite the abnormal parity states. It also induces a polarization Pf(θ) at the inelastic scattering. In the framework of DWIA, we derive and calculate the inelastic scattering cross section and Pf(θ) for the 12C(p̅ ,p)12C* with 2+, 3-, and 1+ states at antiproton energies of 46.8 and 179.7 MeV. Our model fit well the available experimental data. The 46.8 MeV measurement of the inelastic differential cross section to the 1+ abnormal parity state can be explained by a spin orbit term. Such a term generates a sizable inelastic scattering polarization.
