The dipole strength distribution of 76 Se has been investigated via photon scattering in the energy region below 9 MeV utilizing bremsstrahlung produced at the S-DALINAC facility at the TU Darmstadt. About 0.20(1)% of the classical E1 sum rule is exhausted by observed J = 1 states of justifiably assumed negative parity. An extrapolation of the GDR below 9 MeV suggests that considerable strength may remain unobserved due to background, finite detector resolution, and fragmentation. The observed strength thus represents a lower limit. Candidates for the 2 + 1,ms state and a fragment of the 1 + sc mixed-symmetry states are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations –citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
