E1 response of n-rich nuclei

  • Giant dipole resonance (GDR): all stable nuclei
  • Pygmy dipole resonance (PDR): n-rich nuclei (208Pb, 132Sn

etc…)

  • Oscillation of neutron skin?
  • EOS of neutron matter → neutron star
  • Structure is not yet known

Excitation energy [MeV] B(E1) strength

Pygmy: Ex~10 MeV ~5% of TRK sum

nuclei

Giant: Ex~80A-1/3 MeV ~100% of TRK sum
