Abstract

New experimental data on the neutron single-particle character of the Pygmy Dipole Resonance (PDR) in 208^{208}Pb are presented. They were obtained from (d,p)(d,p) and resonant proton scattering experiments performed at the Q3D spectrograph of the Maier-Leibnitz Laboratory in Garching, Germany. The new data are compared to the large suite of complementary, experimental data available for 208^{208}Pb and establish (d,p)(d,p) as an additional, valuable, experimental probe to study the PDR and its collectivity. Besides the single-particle character of the states, different features of the strength distributions are discussed and compared to Large-Scale-Shell-Model (LSSM) and energy-density functional (EDF) plus Quasiparticle-Phonon Model (QPM) theoretical approaches to elucidate the microscopic structure of the PDR in 208^{208}Pb.
