Comparison of giant dipole resonance decay in stiffMo92and softMo

Abstract

Gamma-ray spectra from the decay of the giant dipole resonance (GDR) built on excited states of Mo and Mo nuclei at average spins(9-24)h and temperatures of 1.35 -1.50 MeV were measured, and the parameters of a two-component GDR strength function were extracted. Deformations determined from the fitted component energies are substantially larger than predicted by the rotating liquid drop model, suggesting large thermal shape fluctuations. Widths of the GDR in Mo increase from 7.6+0.1 to 8.6+0.2 MeV in the spin range of (9-19.5)h and temperature range of 1.35 -1.45 MeV, as compared with the ground-state GDR width of 5.4+0.2 MeV. In ' Mo the GDR width is nearly constant and equals 9.8+0.2, 9.9+0.2, and 10.1+0.2 MeV at average spins 9h, 19.5h and 24h and temperatures 1.35, 1.45, and 1.50 MeV, respectively, as compared with the ground-state width of 7.9+0.2 MeV. The observed difference in the GDR widths between the two molybdenum isotopes at the same temperatures and spins indicates that shell effects are still present at the temperatures studied.

“…a spin of ( Jf ) = 18. 2A' implies a deformation of AR/R -0.156, and since hR/R -hE/Eo we therefore infer a broadening of AE =2.65 -2 8. MeV for the present range of spins in ' F+ Al, which is comparable to the width increase shown in…”

Rapid increase in prescission giant-dipole-resonance γ-ray emission with bombarding energy

“…The relevant reaction parameters are listed in Table I. The GDR p strength is based on one classical dipole sum rule, in agreement with presently known experimental data [24]. The remaining input is the same as in prior work [4 -6, 10].…”

Compilation of giant electric dipole resonances built on excited states

“…If absolute values in the high-energy region are compared, the fit is often normalized to the data in an energy region of 3-7 MeV (see, e.g., [47]), far below the peak of the GDR. Statistical uncertainties are usually determined in the normal fashion by varying GDR parameters until the quality of the fit deteriorates.…”
