Fine structure of giant resonances carries important information on the<br />
coherent motion of nucleons in collective modes of excitations and on the<br />
role of different damping mechanisms of giant resonances. A systematic<br />
study of the fine structure of giant resonances for the example of the IS-<br />
GQR was carried out using high-resolution inelastic proton scattering at<br />
iThemba LABS on a variety of closed-shell and deformed nuclei. The fine<br />
structure is established as a global phenomenon. Novel wavelet analysis<br />
methods have been developed for the extraction of characteristic energy<br />
scales of the fluctuations in the fine structure. New experimental results<br />
will be presented together with an interpretation of their physical nature<br />
based on various microscopic approaches including the coupling to complex<br />
configurations.<br />

Dipole strength distributions in neutron-rich nuclei —<br />
•Nadezhda Tsoneva and Horst Lenske — Institut für Theoretische<br />

Dipole excitations below the neutron threshold in neutron-rich nuclei<br />
are studied microscopically by a method combining self-consistent<br />
mean-field results from Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) theory and the<br />
Quasiparticle-Phonon Model (QPM). Including up to three-phonon components<br />
in the model configuration space, a realistic description of nuclear<br />
spectra and their fragmentation pattern up to the particle threshold is<br />
obtained. Of special interest are the low-lying two-phonon 1 − states and<br />
the Pygmy Dipole Resonance (PDR). The evolution of the PDR strength<br />
in relation to the neutron skin thickness is investigated over the Z=50 isotopic<br />
and N=82 isotonic chains. For Sn isotopes a close correlation of the<br />
PDR excitation energy and transition strength with the neutron excess<br />
was found. The PDR strength increases with the neutron number while<br />
the centroid energy decreases. By comparison to the radii of HFB ground<br />
state densities a correlation with the size of the neutron skin could be<br />
identified. Hence, the PDR strength establishes a clear signature for the<br />
neutron skin size. The good agreement of our results with experiments<br />
confirms the success of such a microscopically inspired description. For<br />
the N=81 isotope 137 Ba with one neutron-hole in the closed N=82 shell<br />
the distribution of the low-lying dipole strength is studied microscopically<br />
within the framework of the QPM including quasiparticle+two-phonon<br />
coupling. The results are compared with recent experimental data from<br />
Darmstadt and Stuttgart. Work supported by DFG.<br />

The low-level structure of calcium isotopes is generally characterized<br />
by the valence neutrons in the fp shell and a 40 Ca core. The gradual<br />
filling of the f7/2 shell with neutrons for 42,44,46 Ca, between doubly-magic<br />
40 Ca and 48 Ca, causes strong variations in the excitation energies and<br />
B(E2)’s of their 2 + 1 states. If fp shell neutrons are the dominant components<br />
in the nuclear wave functions one expects for these states negative g<br />
factor values (g ≃ −0.4). From recent g factor measurements, employing<br />
projectile Coulomb excitation and the transient field technique, however,<br />
very surprising results were obtained. For 42,44 Ca(2 + 1 ) positive values of<br />
g factors were observed which could only be explained by shell model calculations<br />
including substantial cross-shell configurations from 40 Ca core<br />
excitation [1]. In contrast, a recent first measurement on 46 Ca(2 + 1 ), using<br />
an enriched 46 Ca beam, however, yielded a negative g factor, in complete<br />
disagreement with the positive value prediction. Evidently, in this case<br />
the valence neutrons of the fp shell play the dominant role.<br />

Quadrupole-octupole coupled two-phonon E1 excitations (2 + ⊗3 − ) represent<br />
the dominant low-lying E1 excitations in spherical even-even nuclei<br />
near shell closures [1]. In the present studies the fragmentation of the<br />
dipole strength in odd-mass nuclei near the N=82 shell closure was investigated.<br />
The recent photon scattering experiments on 135,137 Ba, 139 La,<br />
and 141 Pr extend systematically our previous measurements on 143 Nd [2].<br />
All experiments were performed at the photon scattering facility of the<br />
4.3 MV Stuttgart Dynamitron using bremsstrahlung beams of 4 MeV<br />
end point energy. The fragmentation and partially observed reduction of<br />
the dipole strengths as compared to those in the neighboring even-even<br />
N=82 isotones [3] arediscussed and compared with our similar results for<br />
nuclei near the Z=50 shell closure (see [4]).<br />

Recently much effort in theory and experiment has been spent to get<br />
a deeper insight into low lying electric dipole excitations between about<br />
5 and 10 MeV. This strength is usually denoted as Pygmy Dipole Resonance.<br />
A well suited experimental technique to determine the electric<br />
dipole strength distribution is Nuclear Resonance Fluorescence (NRF)<br />
[1]. With this method it was possible to determine the absolute transition<br />
strengths of excitations in the N=82 isotones 138 Ba, 140 Ce, and<br />
144 Sm [2]. In a recent experiment at the injector of the S-DALINAC at<br />
TU Darmstadt the nucleus 142 Nd has been measured and it is now possible<br />
to discuss a systematic trend of the mode. In addition calculations<br />
in the Quasi Particle Phonon Model will be presented [3,4].<br />

electric pygmy dipole resonance. To this extent we analyzed a data<br />
set composed of 184 E1 transitions (levels and strengths) measured in<br />
the semimagic N = 82 isotones 138 Ba, 140 Ce, 142 Nd, and 144 Sm [1]. Mi-
