Abstract:A program to study the γ-ray decay from the region of high-level density has been established at iThemba LABS, where a high-resolution gamma-ray detector array is used in conjunction with silicon particle-telescopes. Results from two recent projects are presented: 1) The 74 Ge(α, α γ) reaction was used to investigate the Pygmy Dipole Resonance. The results were compared to (γ, γ) data and indicate that the dipole states split into mixed isospin and relatively pure isovector excitations. 2) Data from the 95 Mo(… Show more
