Photon strength functions describing the average response of the nucleus to an
electromagnetic probe are key input information in the theoretical modelling of nuclear …

A new method is proposed to determine the energy-dependent spin distribution in
experimental nuclear-level schemes. This method compares various experimental and …

The standard variational derivation of stellar-matter structure in the Wigner-Seitz
approximation is generalized to the finite-temperature situation where a wide distribution of …

Nuclear data in general, and neutron-induced reaction cross sections in particular, are
important for a wide variety of research fields. They play a key role in the safety and criticality …

In this work, we have reviewed the Oslo method, which enables the simultaneous extraction
of the level density and γ-ray transmission coefficient from a set of particle-γ coincidence …

The γ-ray strength function in the quasicontinuum has been measured for 231–233 Th, 232,
233 Pa, and 237–239 U using the Oslo method. All eight nuclei show a pronounced …

The photoneutron cross sections of Dy 162, 163 have been measured for the first time in an
energy region from the neutron threshold (S n) up to≈ 13 MeV. The (γ, n) reaction was …

There is overwhelmingly experimental evidence indicating that excited nuclear states are
dominated by quasiparticle (qp) excitations, which form many-body configurations with …

The γ-ray strength function and level density in the quasi-continuum of Sm 151, 153 have
been measured using bismuth germanate shielded Ge clover detectors of the STARLiTeR …

The γ-strength function and the nuclear level density for the odd-odd, rare-earth nucleus Ho
166 have been extracted from Dy 163 (α, p γ) Ho 166 data using the Oslo method. A …
