Dipole states in stable and unstable nuclei

Nuclear Theory 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

A nuclear structure model based on linear response theory (i.e., Random Phase Approximation) and which includes pairing correlations and anharmonicities (coupling with collective vibrations), has been implemented in such a way that it can be applied on the same footing to magic as well as open-shell nuclei. As applications, we have chosen to study the dipole excitations both in well-known, stable isotopes like 208^{208}Pb and 120^{120}Sn as well as in the neutron-rich, unstable 132^{132}Sn nucleus, by addressing in the latter case the question about the nature of the low-lying strength. Our results suggest that the model is reliable and predicts in all cases low-lying strength of non collective nature.
