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 …

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 electric dipole strength distribution in Ca 48 between 5 and 25 MeV has been
determined at RCNP, Osaka from proton inelastic scattering experiments at forward angles …

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

The complex nature of the nuclear forces generates a broad range and diversity of
observational phenomena. Heavy nuclei, though orders of magnitude less massive than …

We search for potential isovector signatures in the neutron-rich oxygen and calcium isotopes
within the framework of a relativistic mean-field theory with an exact treatment of pairing …

The electric dipole strength distribution in Sn 120 between 5 and 22 MeV has been
determined at the Research Center for Nuclear Physics, Osaka, from polarization transfer …

Background: There is renewed interest in electric dipole strength distributions for a variety of
reasons including the extraction of the dipole polarizability related to properties of the …

The synthesis of nuclei in diverse cosmic scenarios is reviewed, with a summary of the basic
concepts involved before a discussion of the current status in each case is made. We review …

The Lead Radius Experiment has provided the first model-independent evidence in favor of
a neutron-rich skin in Pb 208. Although the error bars are large, the reported large central …
