The electric dipole response of atomic nuclei has attracted a lot of attention from
experimentalists and theorists in the last decade. This review gives an overview about the …

We review recent studies of the evolution of collective excitations in atomic nuclei far from
the valley of β-stability. Collective degrees of freedom govern essential aspects of nuclear …

This review paper concerns the research devoted to the study of the properties of dipole
excitations in nuclei. The main focus is on questions related to isospin effects in these types …

The γ decay from Coulomb excitation of Ni 68 at 600 MeV/nucleon on a Au target was
measured using the RISING setup at the fragment separator of GSI. The Ni 68 beam was …

The pygmy dipole resonance has been studied in the proton-magic nucleus Sn 124 with the
(α, α′ γ) coincidence method at E α= 136 MeV. The comparison with results of photon …

The evolution of the low-energy electromagnetic dipole response with the neutron excess is
investigated along the Sn isotopic chain within an approach incorporating Hartree-Fock …

After a short introduction to the nuclear resonance fluorescence technique (NRF) and a brief
description of typical photon scattering facilities, the present topical review focuses on three …

A concentration of electric-dipole excitations below the particle threshold, which is frequently
denoted as the pygmy dipole resonance, has been studied in the semimagic nucleus Ce …

High resolution photon scattering experiments were performed at the 10 MeV
bremsstrahlung facility of the electron accelerator S-DALINAC at TU Darmstadt to investigate …

An overview of relevant results on the study of 1− states focusing on their excitation with
nuclear probes is given. Results obtained for the 90 Zr, 124 Sn, and 208 Pb nuclei using the …
