Decay pattern of the Pygmy Dipole Resonance in¹³⁰Te

Abstract

Abstract. The electric dipole strength distribution in 130 Te has been investigated using the method of Nuclear Resonance Fluorescence. The experiments were performed at the Darmstadt High Intensity Photon Setup using bremsstrahlung as photon source and at the High Intensity γ-Ray Source, where quasi-monochromatic and polarized photon beams are provided. Average decay properties of 130 Te below the neutron separation energy are determined. Comparing the experimental data to the predictions of the statistical model indicate, that nuclear structure effects play an important role even at sufficiently high excitation energies. Preliminary results will be presented.
