excitations in nuclei. The main focus is on questions related to isospin effects in these types …

This review aims at giving a critical description of the theoretical researches conducted on
the low-lying dipole states traditionally denoted as Pygmy Dipole Resonances (PDR). A brief …

The E 1 strength distribution in Ni 68 has been investigated using Coulomb excitation in
inverse kinematics at the RB 3-LAND setup and by measuring the invariant mass in the one …

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 …

The microscopic structure of the low-energy electric dipole response, commonly denoted as
pygmy dipole resonance (PDR), was studied for Sn 120 in a Sn 119 (d, p γ) Sn 120 …

The dipole strength of the N= 50 nucleus 86 Kr was studied in photon-scattering
experiments using bremsstrahlung produced with electron beams of energies of 7.9 and …

The nature of E 1 low-energy strength (LES), often denoted as a “pygmy dipole resonance”,
is analyzed within the random-phase approximation (RPA) in 208 Pb using Skyrme forces in …

Scattering of protons of several hundred MeV is a promising new spectroscopic tool for the
study of electric dipole strength in nuclei. A case study of 208 Pb shows that, at very forward …
