The strength distribution of the isoscalar giant dipole resonance (ISGDR) in $^{58}$Ni has been obtained over the energy range 10.5--49.5 MeV via extreme forward angle scattering (including 0$^{\circ}$) of 386 MeV $\alpha$ particles. We…
The occurrence of scissors modes in crystals that have deformed ions in their cells has been predicted some time ago. The theoretical value of their energy is rather uncertain, however, ranging between 10 and a few tenths of eV, with the…
