The nucleus is one of the most multifaceted many-body systems in the Universe. It exhibits a
multitude of responses depending on the way one “probes” it. With increasing technical …

After and introduction to the subject, the formalism describing nuclear resonance scattering
(NRF) is briefly summarized. Experimental techniques and developments are discussed in …

In the first part of this lecture recent developments in the field of magnetic dipole excitations
in heavy deformed nuclei are discussed by using electromagnetic and hadronic probes of …

The interpretation of the low-energy orbital magnetic-dipole excitations of nonspherical
nuclei, commonly called scissors modes, is examined. Different models are reviewed, and …

From the data on dipole excitations obtained in photon scattering experiments we extract
and tabulate the mean values of the excitation energy of the 1+ scissors mode in nuclei of …

Measurements of the linear polarization of resonantly scattered photons have been used for
model independent parity assignments in nuclear resonance fluorescence experiments …

Magnetic dipole excitation strengths attributable to the scissors mode in even-A rare earth
nuclei between A= 140–190 are collected and presented assuming the excitation energy as …

The recently discovered deformation properties of the scissors mode are satisfactorily
described by a phenomenological treatment of the M1 strength in the form of general validity …

In this study, \ensuremathI^π=1^+ and \ensuremathI^π=1^- dipole mode excitations are
systematically investigated within the rotational and translational+ Galilean invariant …

We present a method to study spin magnetic dipole excitations in deformed nuclei within the
quasiparticle random phase approximation based on self-consistent Hartree-Fock mean …
