Recent shell-model calculations of gamma-decay strength functions

Nuclear Theory 2019-11-20 v1

Abstract

We present recent shell-model calculations of the gamma-decay in sd-pf and pf-shell nuclei. We focus on the M1 part of the dipole strength which was shown to exhibit interesting low-energy effects, in particular a low-energy enhancement which can have a considerable impact on the radiative neutron capture. We discuss the persistence of the shell effects in the nuclear quasi-continuum and the relation between the shape of the strength function at low energy and nuclear deformation.
