The direct $\gamma$-decays of the giant dipole resonance (GDR) and the giant quadrupole resonance (GQR) of $^{208}$Pb to low-lying states are investigated by means of a microscopic self-consistent model. The model considers effects beyond…
I present a brief summary of the first three decades of studies of pygmy resonances in nuclei and their relation to the symmetry energy of nuclear matter. I discuss the first experiments and theories dedicated to study the electromagnetic…

The structure of $^{26}$O is currently being investigated on both theoretical and experimental fronts. It is well established that it is unbound and the resonance parameters are fairly well-known. The theoretical analysis may involved two-…

Reaction-rate calculations relevant to r-process nucleosynthesis depend sensitively on the nuclear $\gamma$-strength function ($\gamma$SF). Here we investigate the impact of low-lying pygmy dipole strength (PDS) in $(n,\gamma)$ and…
